redracer77 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Just wondering if anyone can help with ideas for tankmates for my 2 blue acaras about 8-9cms? Theyare in a 4 foot tank with chocolate stripe cat, synodontis, bristlenose, ghost knife, silver tips. I want to get something about the same size as the acaras or slightly bigger but won't bully them, was thinking thread fin acara or Geophagus Jurupari if I could get some.

Morcs Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Keyholes? grow to 5'', similar peaceful tempermant as the acara. same region in keeping with biotope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 hi redracer, and welcome to the forums! you could get more acaras, firemouths, an electric blue jack dempsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 heckeliis of "juripari" would be fine with the acaras, they can handle themselves with most medium sized cichlids, keholes, other geophagus (except for brasiliensis, which isn't really a Geophagus anyway), angels, uaru, severums, etc should all be fine, although depending on the size of your tank you should probably stay away from some of the larger growing ones.

redracer77 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions, not that keen on the keyholes. anyone know where I can get either heckeliis of juripari? looking to get something within the next couple of months. Also I'm in Nelson so maybe somewhere that can ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Try PMing Hollywood fish farm, they have both in stock and AFAIK they can ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
