My Blue Acara growth and development

[Jexnell]

Ya weee little guys yet, tho ryansmith83 says he had them breed @2in so we could be into some breeding activity sooner than I thought.

Is there a demand for acaras in your neck of the woods?

 

[Jexnell]

Not sure about that, if anything they would be clean feeders for Toni and catness. Tho the local Petco's said they would buy fry. So I could unload some there and use the funds to help buy food, Prime and such.

Nice! Those are pretty good options if you ask me!

Did they say at what size they’ll buy back fry? I’m guessing you’ll need to grow them out for a few months before they can be traded in. It’ll be interesting to see if they make it to that point in a community setting. My terrors disappear rather quickly once they start free swimming, so you may need another tank if you want any to make it.

I have a 46gal bowfront, and a 5gal that can be used for grow out tanks

Just have to make a stand for them.

So can a nice person with powers fix that U to an A in the word "Acuras" in the title.. I blame auto correct.................

It's been a couple days now and all are settling in. The Acaras are starting to keep thier dorsal fins up more now. The male is both flashing at the females and getting flashed, well what I think is the male. So three of them look like this
The dorsal goes straight back and has the shiny spangles in it's fins.


This is the one with the humpback dorsal, you can see also don't have shiny spangles. So I either have one male and three females or vise versa 3m and 1f we shall see.

I’m not familiar with acaras but the last two pictures look like a male (maybe the same fish?)

Dorsal Fins look extended and pointy to me

Very good looking fish btw
