This will probably be really obvious to some of you, but I recently bought this fish as a Blue Acara but it doesn't look like all the ones ive looked at on the internet, doesn't it kinda look like a Jack Dempsey? Acaras are supposed to be peaceful right and it already put my Convict in line :lol2: Also sex? It's about 2" and a cool fish regardless of what it is :D

ya that does look like a JD to me but i'm not a pro by any means so...someone with more know how please chime in! :)
 
Oh great, I guess thats cool, they are very cool fish, but is a 50 gallon big enough? And sex possibly?
 
That is def. a JD. No question about it. Blue Acaras are sweet fish. Not always non-aggressive though. It was picking on my newly added GT for a couple of days...that didn't last long though. Nice looking juvie by the way. Already has some nice color and markings. Powerfeed that badboy and you will have a nice fish. Keep us posted.
 
yeah its a Jack Dempsey, its also a male...yeah he will be fine in your 50 with a convict. goodluck with the little guy.
 
Thanks, :D I guess I should have known the first day I got him when he demolished a random guppy I had :owned: and made my convict his b**ch .
 
Jd and a 50g is big enough to keep him in.Looks like a young male great fish kept one in a 30g when I was a kid hed did not tolerate tankmates.I got a breeding pair with a schoal of fry now.
