Hey
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help sex my blue acara's please?
I think I have one of each but could be very wrong as fins are similar, thru were both purchased at the same time so should be the same age but the size difference is immense. Thanks in advance

Welcome to MFK ☺ Yes I agree Blue Acara and Electric Blue Acara are difficult to sex due to m/f looking alike. I was lucky to notice a bonding pair at my lfs.

Thank you!
Oh really? That's lucky! Lol.
It's really tricky tbh I spent hours looking at them lol. Mine were so super tiny when I got them, only a few weeks old. I'm pretty sure I have one of each just from their behaviour. Lol.

It would be great if they are m/f especially the way they are bonding together now. :) Great job raising them.

I hope so as the only fish I have atm that is laying eggs is my green terror but as they're with a firemouth, no babies. Thank you!!
