Acara only is like 4-6 inches full grown and can only catch thin bodied tetras.
I am monitoring the tetras, if they show aggression I will get more but so far they have been no meaner than a neon.
They get 6” unless they are stunted. They are same species of fish as the blue acara which gets 8-10” they are slightly smaller but can get the same size in a large tank

I’ve heard 6-8 for wild type. The captive bred blue ones are smaller and more peaceful (so I’ve been told).

There are no wild type electric blue acara. The blue acara gets up to 10” and the eba gets up to 8” they are jerks. You know green terrors? They are the same genus as electric blue acara

Both are generally peaceful, unlike their cousins such as stalsbergi and rivulatus.
Same idea as red tiger oscars and electric Jack dempseys.
Green terror is one of the best cichlids ever!
