At this point I'm watching all your videos actually. I was blown away at seeing the first electric blue acara because I really hadn't been in fish for 25 years and they didn't exist back then. And blue cars were hard to distinguish from other fish because they weren't that flashy These are incredible fish and I would like to do one someday
Stunning thank you, i have 2 questions: - what kind of cichlids cross breeding to get Blue electric acara? - what is the tds of water breeding pls? My regards
There is some uncertainty as to the origin of the Electric Blue Acara. It could be a cross of Blue Acara with something else or it could have been the result of selective breeding. As far as TDS for breeding goes, unfortunately I don't know! I don't breed fish myself so I wouldn't want to give you any tips there 😊
Hi Do you think i could keep a Blue Acara cichlid in a 21gallon tank standard with other fish?My filtration System is very overpowerd and not much fish.Great Video.
I think you are referring to EBA, I would say that you would be pushing it in a 21 gallon with other fish. One EBA and a few small fish could probably work in a 21, but I wouldn’t over do it. Make sure to check your water regularly. Best to go bigger if you can.
That can happen. If you put them back together make sure have something to break the line of site between the two, this will help to reduce aggression. Might not fix the problem completely though. Good luck!
I haven’t kept more than one personally, but I imagine 3-5 in a 55 would be fine, just make sure you have good filtration and stay up on maintenance! My EBA is pretty peaceful, I think they would do well with smaller fish. However, I would have a backup plan :)
Petco does sometimes, i bought mine there. I luckily got a pair eventhough they didn't seem like so when they were small. Now they just bred and had their first clutch of fry. Very much worth the trouble, when they're full size they're a beauty to behold. Give them a nutritious diet, a 40 breeder sized tank with proper filtration and they'll be happy:) Good luck with the search👍
I'm wanting to put about 5 tiger barbs, 5 green moss barbs, 1 jewel cichlid and 1 electric blue acara all in a 55 gallon tank, you reckon that's possible ?
okay so i like in south africa, i have 2 blue acaras, 4 silver dollars, 1 angel, and 1 comet in a 10 gallon tank, they seem to be fine, but once i see growth changes, ill get them into something bigger
Bigger is always better but I would say that could work reasonably well If that's what you have. Just make sure to test your water and make sure you have adequate filtration. 👍
Yes, as long as the group contains the same amount of males and females, so they all have a mate. These fish mate for life, and if there is one left without a mate, it will be picked on and chased.
I have a question i didnt know the sex so i thought i had a male so i got another female but i think the other whone is a female to they are doing fine together but is it good over time to have two females
This aquarium is a 29 gallon. It’s a standard size available at most pet stores. I like it because it’s long and 20 long lid fits in a 29 interchangeably. Thanks for the comment!

@@AquariumPlantLab thank you for reply, and for tds of water breeding pls?
I mentioned that in my comment above 👆. Unfortunately I don’t have an answer to that one!
@@AquariumPlantLab thank you have a nice day
I keep 8 of them in a 60gal with a chocolate albino pleco. Very docile and beautiful fish. They love bigger groups.
Are you trying to seduce me or put me in a trance? Lol I loved your voice in this video.
☺️
Do you have the link of that piano music in the background?

Acara's get to approx 6-7" so minimum tank size should be 55g or more...especially with other fish
thank you , i found this vid to be very helpful
I’m glad, thanks for watching!
I have 2 eba and have had to separate them because one was beating up the other
That can happen. If you put them back together make sure have something to break the line of site between the two, this will help to reduce aggression. Might not fix the problem completely though. Good luck!
Hello! How many EBA’s would u recommend for a 55gal?
I also heard that they are peaceful enough to be grouped with gold or cherry barbs. Is this true?
I haven’t kept more than one personally, but I imagine 3-5 in a 55 would be fine, just make sure you have good filtration and stay up on maintenance! My EBA is pretty peaceful, I think they would do well with smaller fish. However, I would have a backup plan :)
Man. Around where I’m at. I can’t find one at all! Does pet co or anywhere have these?

@@dio7339 I’ve actually found mines thru someone on a fb page. Very beautiful fish! Super stoked! Plan on getting a blood parrot next too!
@@l.o.r410 that great!:)
@@dio7339 Thanks bud! Hope November starts off good for you! 🙏🏼
@@l.o.r410 Likewise👍
sit back get a drink, relax and be hypnotize
Hahaha! I really should make more ASMR fish related videos 😂
@@AquariumPlantLab :D its your tone of voice with the music of choice == hypnotize , cheers aquatic friend
I have a 40 Gallon breeder tank and wanted to stock it with 1 Electric Blue Acara, 2 Bolivian Rams, and 5-6 Tiger Barbs. Do you think this would work?
I'm wanting to put about 5 tiger barbs, 5 green moss barbs, 1 jewel cichlid and 1 electric blue acara all in a 55 gallon tank, you reckon that's possible ?
Good question, I’ve actually never kept most of those fish so I cant really say!
You will be fine would not recommend tiger barbs tho
Do prefer indica or sativa?
🤣
Can I put one of these fish with goldfishes, Kois and angel fishes?
Goldfish and Koi prefer cooler water. Angelfish and Acaras should do fine together though. 👍
My brother found nirvana, calm as anything
okay so i like in south africa, i have 2 blue acaras, 4 silver dollars, 1 angel, and 1 comet in a 10 gallon tank, they seem to be fine, but once i see growth changes, ill get them into something bigger
Great fish! You will definitely need to upgrade soon 😊
Hopefully you have upgraded man cheers
@@zman7103 yep, moved them all to a 90 gallon
Can I keep a pair of electric blue acara in a 105L tank?
Bigger is always better but I would say that could work reasonably well If that's what you have. Just make sure to test your water and make sure you have adequate filtration. 👍
Super cool dude
Thanks much!!!
Nice fish and good info, your tank needs a clean though, I found it distracting.
Thank you! And yes it definitely did :)
@@AquariumPlantLab looks like a female because males are bigger and have long pointed dorsal fin
Can I keep acaras in groups
I believe you can!
Yes, as long as the group contains the same amount of males and females, so they all have a mate. These fish mate for life, and if there is one left without a mate, it will be picked on and chased.
can one electric blue acara live alone in a tank with no other fish?
Absolutely! They are very interactive fish, interacting with you just as much as other fish.
can i put 1 acara and 1 dwarf gourami in a 105l tank
bro urs EBA have nice colors.....I had not seen such a beautiful EBA
Right! I love that fish :)
I’ve got my EBA with mollies and tetras he dose just fine.
What is this soft voice?
My sensitive side. Lol I was going for an ASMR like feel hahaha. It was kinda meant to a joke but I like how it turned out 🤣
Can you keep them with angels
I’ve never actually kept angels so I am not sure! EBA are pretty easy going though.
@@AquariumPlantLab thanks
Time for a nap
😂
Gorgeous fish, great voice, but dude clean your glass before shooting a video.
This tank was pretty dirty 😂. Lots of people didn't like how the tank looked, I learned my lesson with this one haha. Thanks for the comment :)
He looks so lonely. He needs a red buddy.
Red would be a nice contrast!
Yes, these fish form pairs that mate for life! I feel sad for him alone in that tank with nothing but one rock and alot of algea.
Good one mate
I have a question i didnt know the sex so i thought i had a male so i got another female but i think the other whone is a female to they are doing fine together but is it good over time to have two females
what size is your aquarium
This aquarium is a 29 gallon. It’s a standard size available at most pet stores. I like it because it’s long and 20 long lid fits in a 29 interchangeably. Thanks for the comment!
I want one
They are great fish! My EBA is like a dog. It has loads of personality and is a joy to watch. I would definitely recommend them!
The intro made me wonder if this was a video of a crime
Haha! It does have that vibe 😂
music way to load, hard to understand what is said
Are you stoned? I am and I love your video
😎
That's a female beautiful fish!
Unfortunately this fish has passed away (sad day). But she was a beauty for sure 😁
Next time do the video but take away the music it makes it hard to hear
Sorry about that, sometimes it is difficult to get the audio dialed in just right!
Speak up,I’m trying to learn from you,not go to sleep
It was an ASMR parody. Totally intended. Fortunately my other videos are not like this :)
NW Aquahobby can you tell me around how much should I expect to pay for a electric blue Acara❓thx👍🏾
JUPITER King Of Fire For sure! I usually see them going for 20-30 bucks or so for a 2 inch fish. I paid 25 for mine!
NW Aquahobby thx you’ve been really helpful👍🏾
@@jupiterkingoffire3992 have some respect buddy
