About the Albino Threadfin Acara

The Albino Acarichthys heckelii , or Albino Threadfin Acara, is a pale-colored, albino variant of the Threadfin Acara, characterized by red or pink eyes and a body that shows hints of white, pink, and yellow, sometimes developing vibrant orange accents as it matures.

These generally peaceful, medium-sized "eartheater" cichlids grow to about 6-8 inches and are known for their distinctive thread-like fin filaments, which can also show red or orange. They require a spacious aquarium with a sandy substrate for sifting, plenty of hiding spots, and a varied diet of high-quality food. This species can sift through substrate, and uproot stem plants. Plan your hardscape and aquarium decor accordingly.
