    had seen now and then
    but not sure now

    how big is your tank ?
    what are the inhabitants?

    an average sized breeding pair is best give 3x1.5 ft of relatively undisturbed space.

    as with most cichlids of their temperment and size

    Probably would like to put a pair inside my 3' tank.

    any other fish inside or not ?

    small fish may get preyed up as they grow up to like 4" and above.

    planted can, but too densely planted also not suitable.

    Actually quite a lot of fish. Some 1.5" cardinals, 6 bleeding hearts, 1 diamond tetra, 6 pencil fish, 1 honey gourami and 1 puffer and 1 pair golden dwarf

    Quite densely planted. If not suitable, then I won't get them.

    Blue acaras reach, on average, about 4.5".
    They will eat small fish.
    They could be ok with the plants, though they may dig at them...and if they spawn, then they will tear up the plants.
    Feed them flakes, pelletes, bloodworm etc.
    Be carefull not to buy a Green Terror instead of the Blue Acara, as they look almost identicle
    Good tankmates are Firemouths, Convicts, Rainbow Cichlids, Blue Eye Cichlids, and other medium sized semi-aggressive cichlids.
    I dont think a blue acara would work in your tank setup, unless you want it to eat all your tetras, that is
    Mez
    Currently keeping many wild betta species and other anabantoids.
