Hi was hoping some one could help me with a question i have a male blue acara and a female blue acara in my tank as well as a red jewel and some other cichlids i have noticed my female blue is hiding behind one of my heaters lately facing down at a hole that was dug out and my red jewel is chasing all the other cichlids away with his bright breeding colors showing (i had a female red jewel that died and he had fry with her before) i was wondering if my jewel and acara are possibly spawning together. So if any one knows if this is possible can ya inform me what to expect from a breeding blue acara?
question about blue acara's
- Thread starter Kaloon
- Start date
It is possible they are courting and attempting to reproduce together, but there will not be any viable offspring because they are two completely different genera.

Completely. My female who is paired off, particularly, will often find a nice quiet place (generally behind a rock with a bit of room next to the glass) where the only way she gets found is if something is actively hunting her (doesn't happen). She'll stick there a day or 3 and when she's had enough time to herself, she'll come back and be part of the community again.
This is my experience anyways, she does this at least 1 time a month and nothing ill has happened to her to date, and she has some of the boldest colors, aside from her big fat male partner.
ok cause i am just worried that some one was attacking her but she is the dominant female in the tank so it threw me off she hasn't eaten in almost a week ether so i dunno what to do.
