I've found that to be basically true. I've had both and blue acara seemed more aggressive than electric blues.Are the EBAs smaller and nicer than regular ones similar to how jacks work, or are they basically the same?
I’ve haven’t kept regular blues, but I don’t know if EBAs truly get smaller, as my lfs had a solid 7-8 inch EBA that was around an inch thick.Are the EBAs smaller and nicer than regular ones similar to how jacks work, or are they basically the same?
I’ve got a big male close to that size.I’ve haven’t kept regular blues, but I don’t know if EBAs truly get smaller, as my lfs had a solid 7-8 inch EBA that was around an inch thick.
36 bowfront? I think you would be fine with one or a pair of EBA. Expect around 6", 8" is an exceptionally sized EBA ime.May not be good for my tank then. I was looking at it for a 36 gallon tank, but that seems too big. Are there any smaller colorful acaras that would fare better there?
Color wise I usually prefer wild type, but the acaras are an exception, that bright blue is amazing.
Yeah, they are pretty peaceful, but territorial. Tetras, barbs, small catfish, and smaller cichlids would work. I had an adult EBA with an oto before.Do you think a solo could be kept with other fish in a tank that size?
