Thanks, but there's some down here I'm interested in. But could you tell me please, any specifics in the tank set up that are needed? 8)

Pics? Size?

Same as most south american cichlids, warm and slightly acidic to neutral water, some rocks and driftwood. They're not really fussy AFAIK.

Sweet. Shouldn't be a prob then. Ta. 8)

I kept some Blue Acaras in a tank with mixed cichlids and two of them paired off and laid eggs on a rock.

Nice looking fish I noticed that the rock they laid the eggs on is angled slightly. My keyholes only seem to lay eggs on rock that are flat though once laid inside a flower-pot.

Oh, and I got a 'scoop' of blue acara last night. They're 2-3 weeks old and doing well in a 28L tank of their own. I think theres approx 20 of them. So far, they seem very similar to the keyholes at that age so I reckon I'll have an influx in another few months 8) :lol: Don't think I can do anything wrong from here on in!
