Just picked him up at a lfs. He's about 2.5 in. What do you guys think? And what can I do to make the color come out?
I'm glad he's not a terror. I was looking at Google pics of blue acaras and he doesn't look exactly like those pictures.
Looks like a Burjurquina the way the line heads in the direction of the dorsal insertion, the line fades before it gets there so can't tell if it continues to the caudal spot (Cichlasoma) or to where the dorsal fin ends (Burjurquina).
