Blue Acara, just a general fact or experience with the species thread!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
zugz, so far they are in a 40-breeder, and i have nothing else with them, i am planning to go to the lfs tomorrow, or today to see if the have gotten in the new shipment and buy 3-4 more so i can get a natural pair. and CA, beautiful pair, and i like the decor, i am going for something simial but i havent found a nice peice of driftwood! :( how did you get the wood secure? im also going to try and get some pics today when im home from work!
 
Anyone have any tips on spawning triggers? This pair has been flirting and displaying to each other for months and still hasn't pulled the trigger. :( I've tried all the usual stuff... Bumping heat, cool water changes, taking heat back down, etc.

mine were in breeding dress for about a month with no eggs. They laid eggs after I added a small Green Terror to their tank... they killed it and laid eggs next day. Rude but it worked.

Target fish? Good idea, too bad mine seem to ignore everything other than the leftover acara once they paired up. They beat the crap out of those. ;) I did catch it in time and they're now re-homed.
