Hi
I went to my lfs yesterday, with my friend she has a lovely 60 gallon community tank, with Angels, Rams, Swordtails, rainbowfish, harlequins, a platy, and a guppy, we went there because she wanted something a bit different for her tank.
We saw some beautiful blue acaras, i know there cichlids, we went and asked one of the staff all about them, he said they where peaceful fish, very hardy, and they get along okay in a community tank aslong as you dont have small fish like Neons, which my friend hasent got, as we where talking about them 2 other people brought 2 and they have a community tank, aswell so we thought we would buy 2 small ones aswell.
We got them home got them aclimatised with the water, and temperature for 45 minutes, put them in and they settled in really well. you would think they had been in the tank for months, they wernt bothering the other fish either.
Are these fish good community fish, are they peaceful, will they get aggressive when there bigger.
What kind of ph do they like? pleas let me know.
