- Aquarium electric blue Acara Cichlid breeding and sexing guide. Blue Acara male or female? We also talk about taking care of acara cichlid baby fry. These fish are super easy to breed and they sell for descent money at fish stores. I like to feed them higher quality food when breeding.

Thanks for making this, Ive had an eba in my show tank for a year now, but now that I know how easy to breed they are I’ll be getting another :)
Great footage and video on breeding EB Acaras. Thanks Chris!
ive got a pair and they are absolutely beautiful
I have a pair of them, they are beautiful.. they haven't spawned yet but are showing signs of it.. shaking at each other, shaking my plants. I'm hoping one day they will spawn! Great video!
I ran across your video today after coming home to fry in m cichlid tank. My electric blue acara mated and bred. I didn't even know they were male and female. I only have the two because they are 19.99 ea. I purchased them about 3 weeks apart. Only thing, I wasn't expecting fry and they hatched today. I didn't even notice eggs. I just transferred cichlids into a different set up.
I'm 4 years later but I just got a male and female Acara im having the exact opposite experience no matter how hard I try to get them to mate they won't
I just saw one in person today and am super excited to get some.
How big is the "community" tank you showed about 1:30? I just want a community with a couple acaras and a Firemouth or two, would that work in a 55g?
You are right Blue Acara's always seemed to get over looked at my old lfs. Me personally i like them, kinda weird i haven't added them to the fish room yet lol
I know it's kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Issac Kylo i would suggest FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
@Issac Kylo i use Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
Do you have any advices to prevent white fungus in their eggs?
This is my second attemp to keep EBA. Adopted 5 EBA (1.75 inc) 7 days ago, put them with 7 juvenile manfish.
i have regular acara who seem to breed the same. at what stage would you be comfortable removing the fry and parents into a new tank with the established filter? i have my 55 gallon split in a 1/3 now from the tank mates and the fry have been swimming for a couple days now but i need to get the 55 footprint back. i have the tank, just plan on moving the filter to the new tank. will the parents eat the fry as they grow/continue to spawn or should i separate the spawn from the parents at some point?
My female keeps eating the fry.. should I remove her before after or at all when she lays the eggs.. the father tries to keep her away but eventually it's to no avail.. I do have one group successfully kept but everyone after that she has destroyed 😥
I have a pair that have fry and they're close to free swimming. My question is that since this is the second batch can the parents stay with the fry as they grow?
Thanks very much 💐🙏
So mine just started spawning and looking for a spot for their eggs. Do you think the eggs and fry will be okay in my community tank with bichirs and other cichlids?
jack dempsey breeding with small electric acara.... I am confused because they have had babies?? Can you help please?
Can you please explain an all blue Acara tank?
I have 2 along with 2 blood parrots and the male Acura is displaying breeding behavior but they won’t breed, the male is very aggressive and is tearing up all my plants, any advice?
I have 4 of them in a catch all tank (Currently in with Pink Convicts) and they are super social. I will give them their own 40 breeder today. I will take the time to match up your tank design today. We paid about $23 (after tax each) locally. Maybe we will get lucky and they will Pr up soon.
So cool
How long did you leave the parents with them how many weeks did u take the parents out
I bought 2 from Pet Smart. I had not idea of the sex. One day, I saw a few number of fry that they were protecting. I believe other fish must have ate the fry. A week or two later, They have another litter. I did nothing. They are very protective parents. I petitioned the tank as much as I could as I have a huge litter of polar blue parrot fry. These parents are also very protective. What is the chance of you getting two pairs of breeding pairs without trying. I hope they continue to grow.
This has happened to me three times when I but trios of angels.
Nice
I have kept one male along with two female..is it ok to keep along
Great content! Can i please get your opinion on my 55g setup. Currently I have a full grown colony of 12 albino corydoras, 1 adult red eye tetra, and 1 recently purchased EBA. in a planted tank. Right now everyone gets along great.
My question is would a breeding pair be ok in a 55 with all those corydoras?
I was contemplating buying more EBA's from tbe same shop/ same size in hopes 2 will pair off, and rehome the other EBA's.
Thank you in advance!!! Subbed for future content!!😎
Did you successfully breed? Our setup is almost same. I also have 55g tank and currently keeping 8 corydoras, 3 red eye tetra, 6 electric blue acara and 2 german ram. Never breed any fish before. But I'll try on eba.
my green terror and EBA paired off there was one batch of free swimmers!
Hey my blue acaras are actually breeding right now in my community tank. Can i just put the eggs over to another aquarium or do they need their parents? The eggs are laying on a plate which i can remove
They need their parents. If your going to move them move the parents as well
Hey dudes 2 days ago my electric blue acara laid eggs for the first time out of nowhere I was so shocked and happy but today it seems they have eaten them all and stopped guarding that corner of the tank an just back to swimming around the tank normally pretty much as if nothing has happened 😂😩😩 gutted! I don’t think they’ve moved them cuz they would still be guarding them right? 🤷🏼♂️
Yes they would be guarding. Female will not leave any living offspring.
Do you sell them?
My Electric Blue acara bred with my Standard Blue acara has anyone had this happen or know what kind of fry I will get?
You will get fry that look like the normal blue Acara.
I have two of them
Will electric blue acara lock lips when they are breeding or is that fighting
That's fighting between males 90% of the time. Mating looks like wiggles and head butts
Sorry, I've nowhere else to ask this. I have 250 liter aquarium with some fishes including 6 Electric blue Acara. They seem all adult and I don't know how many males & females there. Week ago I noticed 2 of them got paired and laid eggs on driftwood. It's my very first time ever receiving breed from fish. So I bought another small (around 30 liter) tank with sponge filter, and transferred mother and eggs there. I don't know what was mistake, but it got many fungus, I tried clean them, but they keep appears. Fortunately bit over 20 of them survived and now those little things swimming everywhere while mother trying collect them to one corner. I thought after few days, when they become large enough to catch, I transfer them all to something temporary, then clean that little tank completely, and put back (for fight fungus)
But right now another problem rised. I just noticed another 2 of them paired and laid eggs again in my main tank. For protect eggs, I separated both parents and eggs into another temporary basket (I don't have extra tank, and its nighttime right now), with sponge filter.
My question is am I doing things right? Also should I find another 3rd aquarium or not? Can I put those eggs into previous small tank with mother and her week old fries? I hope someone answer it :D
In lithuania cost 1-4eurs
I bought two juveniles.. in march .. got lucky one was Male the other female ... and now I have over 100 fry all over my tank.. had to remove the other fish I had into other tanks I had available . But hopefully these grow to juvenile and I can rehome them or trade at my LFS
Im so Lucky that they are sold for like $3 in my country 😅
in my local fish store in Denmark its like 6 dollars or in danish 50 kroners
The price for Electric Blue Acara?

Best cichlid ever. SUPER tame towards humans. I used to be able to pet mine...........Until I came home to 125 gallons of water on the floor :-/......Just bought a pair a month ago and they are def "dating". lol
I have a small school in my 150 ...Hey Chris you got any resealing of tank videos just pop a seal this morning
Mine suddenly died he was eating and the water parameter were good and no sudden change of temperature and was not being bullied ..
this happened to one of mine as well, no external signs of any disease or physical harm, just suddenly got lethargic, breathing heavy and then died.
I bought 2 from a LFS and 3 months later I have eggs.... I intended on breeding them but I didn't think the odds were in my favor as I only bought 2 for a start to go into a 55 gallon show tank for my birthday.... we'll see if they hatch were about 36 hours into them being put into a 40 gallon breeder and about 18 hours into them laying the eggs... not to mention they layed them on a fake plant not in the cave not on the 2 slabs of rock on the fake plant
So how did it turn out?
@@poohead8022 Turned into about 300 EB acaras over the course of a year...

you mean Electric Blue Acara Keepers & Breeders ?
How to breed EBA: just add water! Hehe
is a blue acara a mix between a green terror and electric blue acara?
An electric blue ram and a blue acara.
Susan Briggs Are you trolling?
An EBA is a mix between a naturally occurring blue Acara and an Electric Blue ram. It's a hybrid, man made, not naturally occurring. A blue acara is not a hybrid of a green terror and EBR, although sometimes you find blue Acaras green terror mixed in. Not trolling, just clarifying.
"Terracotta stone" You mean a pot, bro?
These fish are actually easy to tell sex. Males have a pointed looking “egg tube” females egg tube is more rounded and voluptuous.
Kind of funny that you are talking about breeding this fish for profit, and about a half dozen video above you on the page has a guy who is giving away 100 free babies :
SHIT AHH I DONT OWN ANY OTHER TANK MY TANK IS 27 GALLON AND MY BLUE ACARAS ARE MATING AHHHHHHHH SHIT HELP! I HAVE ANGELS AND GOLDEN AND OPALINE GOURAMIS AHHH NO NO NOOOO D:
Stop stealing other ppls videos.
