Good afternoon fish lovers. I'm new to this forum so please take it easy on me
Do anyone have a threadfin acara
I have one and it's such a beauty.
It's a eartheater
What do you feed your acara
Do you have more than one
Any help will be good.
Thanks in advance

In the pics above, mine were about 3 years old, and 8"-10" and just coming into maturity.
I grew them out from about 1 " in 150gal6ft tank, but at the maturity, the tank was not enough space for a spawning territory, so they atarted killing each other. I had been warned they needed more than a 200 gal tank, but thought I could manage it. Their aggression with each other, was hardly ever overt, but the alpha subtly bumped off 5 others
almost over night.
One of my favorite species to keep, and quite beautiful.

Wow. What a beauty.
Nice pics
How many years it took you to grow them out
How many you had in the tank
