Since blue acaras grow to 6"ish then no, I wouldn't put a blue acara in a 20 long. at least not for life. you could grow an acara or 2 up to 3-4" in a 20 long and then move it to a bigger tanks.

Six inches of fish can technically fit in a twenty long, but it cramps the fish. Forty gallons is the smallest tank I'd put a blue acara in, personally. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Lovely fish though. x
