Threadfin Acaras sure do stop a lot of customers in their tracks with that iridescent shine they have! Native to South America, these fish are also called Heckelii or Heckel’s Thread-finned Acara. In the aquarium these large cichlids tend to be peaceful and live well with other large peaceful/semi-aggressive cichlids given enough space. These fish grow to about 8 inches long at and will need roughly 60-70 gallons of swimming space, with larger tanks being required for groups or community setups. All pictures shown are for illustration purposes only. Actual products may vary due to natural variation with livestock.
