From the fish I get, males usually develop more orange\/red color and longer fin streamers. Females are generally fuller-bodied, with softer color and shorter streamers. Both are Albino Heckelii, but the female will not look exactly like the male—and I don’t want to sell her like she will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of those cichlids that looks delicate but really isn’t. Threadfins are generally peaceful for a fish this size, but they are still big enough to live with other decent-sized fish without being pushed around. Like almost any cichlid, they can become territorial when pairing or breeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFish being sold:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–5″ male or female\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eAcarichthys heckelii\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Albino Heckelii, Albino Threadfin Eartheater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 8″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 gallons or larger; provide additional room for a pair or group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75–82°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quality sinking cichlid pellets with varied frozen foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful to semi-aggressive; may become territorial during breeding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine sand with open swimming room, driftwood and caves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThreadfin Acaras naturally sift and dig through the substrate, so fine sand is strongly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe male and female options have separate visual-reference images.
