Cichlid Keeper Big Fish Posts: 368 Kudos: 466 Votes: 304 Registered: 17-Aug-2003	The blue acara is usually generally considered to be a peaceful cichlid, thou they can become aggressive and territorial during breeding and mostly do quite well with cichlids of their same size(up to 8 inches full grown). I just don't think in general it would be a good idea to put the blue acara in with the oscar considering the potential size of the oscar. Along with the usual temperment of the oscar to that of the blue acara.
