Blue acara in my 50 gallon

[njr_]

Hey everyone, I’ve got a 50 gallon tank that I’m looking to house some blue acara in.

I was looking to house 3/4 acara and was wondering if there is any other cichlid I could put another in with them.

For example 3 acara and one geophagus possibly

Thank you

you probably need to define weather they are electric blue, or wild type, they both carry the same scientific name but are worlds apart as far as disposition... I have 3 electric blues, in a 45 gallon, with 4 other species of Cichlid, but I tried adding one wild type Gold Acara, and that completely upset the apple cart, until I removed it...

Sorry yes they are electric blue acara, if I was to put 4 in a 50 gallon is there any other cichlid I could put in with them?

I have an angel fish, a pair of Cupids, and a trio of Apistogramas in my 45, with 3 electric blues, along with several Cory's and various Oto's , and a Tiger Sliver Dollar... I was sent a group of earth eaters by mistake, and they were fine with the blue acaras, but fought amongst them selves before I removed them ( they were supposed to be cupids, as the seller sent the wrong fish ) I would suspect you would be fine with most of the earth eaters

How does the tiger silver dollar do alone? I’ve always thought they need a good shoal
