Well currently in my tank I have 1 pearl gourami 1 red tailed shark 6 scissortail rasbora 6 brilliant rasbora and 6 pearl danios was thinking of adding a single juvenile blue acara to this mix from what I have read it would be fine but was just wondering your opinions.
Can I add a Blue Acara to my 55 gallon community

While a blue acara is unlikely to be aggressive it may predate your danios and rasboras. If I remember correctly the guppy is their common prey item in the wild which puts your danios and rasboras in danger IMO as they are similar in size and shape.
RTBS have a tendancy to harrass fish that look like them, have a similar shape and/or inhabit their water level. A blue acara should be able to handle one though but it is something I would monitor.
The gouramis should be fine with a blue acara.
