	Acara question
jakieblak Hobbyist Posts: 82 Kudos: 75 Votes: 3 Registered: 23-Jul-2005	I was given a male Blue Acara today, form someone who didn't want it anymore, but I don't really have the proper set up to keep him. I could if I had to but I'd rather not, he is now the biggest fish in my tank. I was wondering if anyone could give me sme idea of what he would be worth if I was to sell him. He is about 4 inches long and in perfect health, with nice colour. I've never seen them in the LFS so I have no idea. Here's a link to a picture of him I took tonight http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/rahmonster/breedingfish114copy.jpg I like him but I don't want to keep him with my angels and rams any longer than I have to.

Now see to me that looks like a GT! 72 gallon bowfront:Tanganyikan Lake set up 75 gallon: A. Baenschi trio,Cyanotilapia Afra Cobwe(4), copadichromis trewavase, protomelas sp. tangerine tiger(breeding pair)

This fish seems to have no start of a bump. Therefore it might be a female.... GT?? I have never kept either but I have always liked them. Some day when I have a house of my own and a super huge tank in the wall I plan on having a nice GT and/or JD. 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

He's a very attractive fish but he doesnt belong in my setup and I can't put him by himself. My sister gave him to me because he was part of a breeding pair, but the female died and he started killing all the others in the tank at random and being very strange. He's been very peaceful in my 38gallon so far. I just have no idea what would be a fair price to sell him for
