Breno4313 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hi guys, I seeing what sought of tank mates people have kept with Neon blue acaras? Looking at getting some for a 4ft tank. Also what sought of size do they max at on the net it says anywhere from 10cm to 20cm depending on the site. Cheers breno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lictoga Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 10-20cm is the guid. Tank layout plays a part in what tank mates, so are you planning a minimal scape or one with a decent amount of structure. Options I can think of are, similar sized American cichlids like convict, rainbow cichlids, and such. Some of the larger cory sp, could try some larger swords as dithers may get eaten tho. And some bn sp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankara Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 My 4ft was designed with Dwarfs in mind, so I have many separate areas for them in the tank. The NB Acaras are 6 months old and successfully spawned in the tank, they are protective but not aggressive. I have 8 Rams, Congo and Blue King Tetras a few Guppies for colour and they all get on well. My male peaked at 10cm, the female about 8cm. I believe they are at full size. Looking around the net has been interesting as these fish are listed as EB Acara, NB Acara, NB Nannacara. Although they have the head & body colouration of the Nannacara Anomala, they have various diffences. They sell in Melbourne @ $40 and are known as: Neon Blue Nannacara SP, they are a 2013 hybrid from Singapore. I will include both fish to show the differences, but I am sure the NB Acara is not from the native Blue Acara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
