Electric blue. I believe the EB variety are overall more docile, friendly fish. They are a selectively bred variant of aequidens whereas normal "blue acaras" are the wild type.

This might change our stocking if they are more docile. We were thinking severum and maybe Angel's. Clown loaches too! We have 3 of these guys and they have been great with the 9 white skirt tetras we have with them.

Tank make thoughts?

Cool. Loaches will go in next! Thinking 5 total. It's hard to find severum in Florida for some reason.
