Albino Threadfin Acara Acarichthys Heckelii

The Albino Threadfin Acara is a stunning South American cichlid known for its pearlescent white?pink body, bright red eyes, and long flowing fin filaments. This peaceful, elegant species brings movement and colour to larger aquariums, displaying graceful swimming and gentle substrate?sifting behaviour.

Despite their size, Albino Threadfins are calm and community?friendly when housed with similarly sized peaceful fish. Their unique albino genetics give them a softer, glowing appearance, making them a standout centrepiece in any aquarium.
