Electric Blue Acara Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Electric Blue Acara in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 30 gallons (114 liters)
• Compatibility: Generally compatible with other similarly sized, peaceful to semi-aggressive fish. Avoid very small fish that could be seen as prey, or highly aggressive species that could bully them. Good tank mates include larger tetras, rasboras, peaceful barbs, corydoras, and other peaceful cichlids.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-filtered aquarium with stable water parameters. Provide plenty of hiding spots using rocks, driftwood, and live plants. A sandy or fine gravel substrate is preferred as they enjoy sifting through it. During breeding, they become more territorial and require flat surfaces for egg laying.
