Redbreasted Acara

The Red?Breasted Acara (Laetacara dorsigera) is a peaceful, colourful dwarf cichlid known for its warm red chest, iridescent blue highlights, and gentle temperament. These charming fish are perfect for planted and community aquariums, offering personality and beauty without the aggression seen in larger cichlid species.
Red?Breasted Acaras thrive in calm, well?maintained tanks with soft to neutral water, natural décor, and plenty of hiding spots. They are highly interactive, often recognising their keeper, and display their best colours when kept in pairs or small groups. Their peaceful nature makes them excellent tankmates for tetras, rasboras, Corydoras, and other non?aggressive species.
Feeding is simple — they enjoy quality pellets, flakes, frozen foods, and small live foods. With their vibrant red chest, shimmering body colours, and engaging behaviour, Red?Breasted Acaras are an ideal choice for aquarists looking for a standout dwarf cichlid that remains community?friendly.
