Albino Threadfin Acara (Acarichthys heckelii) love to dig in the sand and require a sandy substrate for feeding. They can be treated much like a Geophagus - softer, acidic water is preferred but not required. They look their best when swimming through driftwood mazes or large Amazon Swords
Tank set up:
The recommended tank size for the 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.
