*Picture is of mature individual

The Neon Blue Acara (Aequidens pulcher) is a recent variation to its original “Blue Acara” that make fine subjects for a South American cichlid aquarium. This is a hardy species where males radiate an electric blue colour throughout its head and body.

They are moderately easy to care for as long as the water quality is maintained and they are provided a quality diet. They are a ready feeder and if bred they become excellent parents. They spawn easily and take very good care of their fry.
