 Fishes

Fresh water Fishes

These fresh water fishes are native to the slow flowing rivers and lakes of Central and South America.

Ornamental Fishes

They are omnivores. They can be fed with meaty foods, like bloodworm, shrimps, frozen, pellets or granules and maybe even little pieces of mussel. Some Spirulina flakes can also be given. You should feed them twice a day to avoid any health complication.

Aquarium Fishes

First thing to be considered in the tank setup for your fish is substrate. It is recommended to include rounded gravel or large even grains of sand because they love to dig it up. As to mimic their natural habitat, plants with some driftwood or rocks can be added in the aquarium which makes them feel comfortable to thrive in the aquarium. There should be a nice aeration and filtration system. A normal filter on a medium-high setting and a normal aquarium light will suffice. They are peaceful fish so it can be kept with many other fish. But it is aggressive during breeding, thus the breeding pair should be isolated.

Neon Blue Acaras can be kept in pairs or in groups of at least six.
