new blue acara

[MXPX4318]

well guy here he is:

got a bit of a torn up tail fin but it's getting better, he's the last of my cichlid crew for the 55g, (blue acara, red aureum, rainbow cichlid, and turqouise severum)

Thanks for looking

I honestly can say i have never seen anyone with one. Veyr pretty. What is their temperment like?

I've been told they're pretty chill unless they're breeding, which is like most all the cichlids I'm keeping at the moment (besides the Dempsy that was given to me by someone who SAID it was terrorizing (sp?) her tank, though he seems rather skidish alone hiding all the time, though I've only had him a bit over a week, so I put him in a 20long (he's about 3-4" right now) until he get a couple more inches on him then I'll find him a new home (hoping maybe I'll have a bigger tank here in a couple months that I can put him in). The Blue acara is however in a 55g w/ 1 turqouise severum (3" plus a bit more maybe), a 2-2.5" rainbow cichlid, a 2" Throichthys Aureum, 4 juvie kribs (about 1" maybe max), and 4 zebra danios (hate those things got them to cycle a tank added fish and they started picking on the other fish so I'm hoping one day these cichlids will give the danios a bit of their own meds.) and they 4 of them (who I'm assuming are all males though I haven't really tried to sex them) are chilling out in their own little crew like it's a little bachelor pad, no real aggression or anything just some chilled out fish.

wow this turned into a book (always does late at night for some reason I get long winded)

Thanks for looking,
Phillip

and just cause I like this shot here's the severum (he's my fav I must say):

Thats some pretty cool colouring on that Sev!! Acaras are really peaceful. I had one for a year or so until I broke a few of my tanks down, and he was great. Stunning colours and usual cichlid personality!!

By the way
