Thank you, I'll try and get some better shots tonight this is the other blue acara it came with and this one seems to have a lot of red in the fins

Body shape and where it looks like the midlateral stripe is heading make me think it might one of the Bujurquina species.
 
Much better picture ... I definitely would go with a Bujurquina species now. I couldn't say which one though, I haven't studied them or seen their line drawnings before.

Thank you pike I'll keep researching as it matures.
Would you say the second pic could be a port acara ?
