?The average Blue Acara lifespan is between 8-10 years in captivity. In the wild, this fish can live double that!
?The name of the Blue Acara does a great job summarizing their appearance. When you see these fish swimming it looks like shiny blue neon!
These fish are primarily light and shiny blue with some subtle details that add to their glimmer. On the side of their bodies, you’ll typically see a bit of faded yellow more toward the front half.
?In terms of their build, Blue Acara have the standard cichlid body. Their bodies are long, and about average in terms of thickness.
?The average size of Blue Acara is somewhere between 6 and 7 inches in length. This is a very manageable size and allows them to be comfortable in a fairly average tank.
? Tank set up:
The recommended tank size for the Blue Acara is 30 gallons. This will give them enough space to swim and be active. We’ve heard of people putting them in slightly smaller tanks, but we strongly discourage that.
The water parameters to best mimic the natural environment are as follows:
A mix of gravel and sand can be used as a substrate. You can also add some large rocks for decoration.

However, the shrimp and fish you receive may be discolored and the reason of this issue is strong vibration during transportation and they're not be fed during the transport period
To handle this problem we highly recommend to you:
🚩Let the fish relax helps them adapt to any changes in water temperature in the tank. Also prevents pH shock - an imbalance between the water in the shop tank and your tank.
🚩Place the fish bag in a cool, corner, and dark place. Prevent the bag from being bumped, slipped, or dropped. This'll give your new fish a good recovery and acclimatization after a shaky ride from the shop to your home.
🚩Feed your old fish first to distract them, preventing them from bullying your new fish.
🚩Your new aquarium tank should have a pH of zero ammonia and chlorine before adding new fish.
🚩Turn off the lights, reduce the glare in the room, or limit the light entering the aquarium. This will help the new fish not be stressed.
Bought this fish and expected a good colouration of shiny blue but since i bought it the only blue is the head and most of the body is white and some black. It’s swimming and eating well, getting along well with tank mates. When I got it I just thought it’s just stress during travel but it didn’t improve.
But 6 months later and through proper care looking at him now he looks so different. See 2nd photo. He’s my favourite fish in my main fish tank. Planning to get another but im skeptical about the aggressions.
