Description

Albino threadfin acaras hail from South America. Growing up to 20cm in length, these stunning cichlids are renowned for their calm demeanour, their flowing thread-like fins and their pale gold bodies.

Albino threadfin acara love sifting through the substrate in an aquarium in search of food. Provide a soft sandy substrate to enable this to sift without risk of injury. Since Albino threadfin acara love to dig, consider the use of epiphyte plants attached to driftwood or rock, such as java fern and anubias which are bitter in taste – they can’t get dug up and are less likely to be eaten.

At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Albino threadfin acaras EBO Pro soft artemia, mussel sticks and insect meal. We also feed live foods including brine shrimp, blood worm and daphnia.

Every aquarium is different. These are a guide based on water chemistry, adult size and temperament. Individual fish have their own personalities. Introduce new tank mates gradually, keep groups at the right numbers, and watch how everyone settles in. Ask our team if you'd like advice for your setup.

Ordering livestock

We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.

If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.

If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
