	Can I add...?
Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	2 Blue Acaras to my 55 gallon tank? Current inhabitants are... 18 Cardinal Tetras 8 Corydoras Leucomelas (1 C. Ambiacus) and a breeding pair of Blue Rams. So would 1 or 2 of these guys be alright? Thanks Last edited by Tetra Fan at 06-Jan-2006 17:07

I believe when they are is spawn mode they get very agressive as well.

Most are near full grown and the Acaras only get about 6 inches according to the profile on this site. I'm not too worried...unless others have had bad experiences with smaller tetras and Acaras? Anyone with firsthand experience, please help me out. Last edited by Tetra Fan at 06-Jan-2006 17:40

You've already got a stock list featuring small, peaceful fish. I personally would just keep running with that. Though blue acaras are supposedly peaceful enough to be included in community tanks, there's the chance that they may become a menace to the other fish. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
