Green Terror looking?
cool looking fish though huh? I have never heard of this fish before. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app
I can envision the build of the Acara for the most part but those colors certainly are bizarre! Kind of cool in a weird way.

Aequidens pulcher (electric blue acara) is now being bred like the Mikrogeophagus ramirezi (electric blue ram)? I haven't seen this before.
Yup! They appeared on the stocklist for Segrest farms last week, meaning that they will be all over the country very soon. You'll probably see them in Petco/Petsmart since Segrest supplies a lot of them. I paid full retail for mine, which was $18. I got it from a store called "A Family Pet Center" in Sarasota, FL. They just asked Segrest to surprise them with some fish and that's what arrived! I think my pics were the first ones on the internet, but Segrest added a pic of their own yesterday.
Hmmmm... but what is it? Some type of GT/blue acara/hybrid? I know Segrest calls it "electric blue acara" on their list but a lot of their common names are incorrect for various species. I'd be interested to know which acara it was bred from. It's hard to tell with the original species' distinguishing markings gone.
