Redbreasted Acara

Size: 8cm (3.2”)
Temp: 18-26°C
pH: 5.0-7.0
Diet: Flake, granules, live/freeze dried/frozen foods

Temperament and tank requirements: Community tank with dim lighting is preferred or a heavily planted tank with shaded areas. Floating plants can help with shading (such as duckweed). They prefer gentle flowing water with good filtration and frequent water changes to keep nitrates low as they can be sensitive to poor water conditions. 
Tank mates: big enough not to be eaten, but peaceful enough to not harass the cichlids. Ideal is catfish, hatchets, tetras and algae eaters.
