  • Electric Blue Acara

    Having a hard time locating this fish in Houston, does anyone know of any locations that have them?

    Thanks

    I do not however, I would call fish gallery, HAW or maybe city pets.

    However as long as your not opposed to ordering online:







    Aquabid is your best bet though!!!!

      I would also say call Aqua Zoo since it's in our area. but I don't know if they have them. They can order them for you, but then Aquabid still may be a better route to go depending on price.

        ~$10 for the electrics - ~$15 for the regs.

          I got my pair at Fishland. They usually always have them. Goes for about $8 each or $15 a pair.

                      What did they charge you, $25ea?
                      great little store, but some of their prices are insulting.

                          The Acara have already paired up and produced eggs. I didnt notice until the 1 of the Acara's attacked me as i was cleaning the glass. Whats the likelihood these hatch? The severum have been lingering around waiting for the opportunity to eat them, so I'm sure fry would stand no chance.

                            As you stated, no chance unless you have a lot of cover: rocks, plants...
                            They will need their own tank if you want to breed and raise fry.

                              The eggs fell down to the sand and are wiggling around down there. Is that why they're called wigglers? What's the next phase the eggs go thru? Just curious
