Electric Blue Acara

[viejafish]

I took a pic of a tank full of electric blue acara for sale in a LFS, House of Tropical, in Baltimore. They are selling the 1.5 to 2 inch fish for $32. They resemble closer to Thai Silk FW in color than EBJD. I kept EBJD before and they tend to lose the juvenile brilliant color and exaggerate deformity of the finage as they mature. I don't see deformity in the finage of EBA but wonder if the juvenile brilliant color of EBA is sustainable.

I think they look like electric blue rams...the longer I keep fish, the less I like the look of these artificial man-made fish. Much rather have the standard wild-type fish any day.
