Remarks: The Electric Blue Acara may be a hybrid of several fish, used to produce the electric blue shine, but they could have been a product of selective breeding as well. Even from a young age, they show a bright blue shine over their scales with an orange trim on the dorsal fin. They are fairly peaceful fish and can be kept with similarly sized South American cichlids, such as Geophagus, Severums, and Angelfish.
