I have a few c.boliviensis in a growout tank and was wondering if i might be able to also put in some m.altispinosa (for now) in the same tank? Does anyone have any tips? Thanks

Luis,

I don't know much about this fish so unfortunately, I am of no help here, but couldn't help but notice you are in Harrisburg, PA, where I was born and lived until I was 16, so I had to jump in here and just say hi and welcome you to the forum! Hopefully someone who knows more about this species will be able to answer your question soon, and I hope all is well back home!

They're a pretty typical acara in terms of personality - low/medium aggressive and good to keep with Severums, eartheaters and the like (other South American fish). They're pretty easy to breed.

I wouldn't keep them with more aggressive Central Americans (other than maybe Paratheraps/Vieja or nicaraguense) and certainly not with African cichlids.

I had a wild pair that I got from Jeff Rapps a few years ago.

I first acquired a group of 6 from HOT but they dwindled themselves down to 3.

I think you'll be okay growing them out for a bit. Make sure the rams are getting out competed for food.

It has changed a lot. I left there in 1984, but I do still get back there every now and again. When I first left there, it was like a place out of time... there were still milkmen walking the neighborhoods! LOL... very different place these days.
