About the Albino Heckelii Threadfin Acara

Name: Albino Heckelii Threadfin Acara (Acarichthys heckelii)

Max Size: Up to 8 inches

Water Parameters: pH 6.0-7.5, temperature 75-82Β°F, hardness 5-12 dGH

Diet: Omnivorous - enjoys a varied diet including high-quality pellets, flakes, and live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small crustaceans. Vegetable matter like spirulina and blanched vegetables are also appreciated.

Temperament: Generally peaceful but can be mildly territorial, especially during breeding. Best kept with similarly sized peaceful fish.

Tank Setup: Provide a spacious tank (minimum 55 gallons) with a sandy substrate, as they enjoy sifting through the sand in search of food. Include driftwood, rocks, and caves for hiding spots. Ensure good filtration and regular water changes to maintain optimal water quality.

Compatibility: Albino Heckelii Threadfin Acaras are peaceful cichlids and do well in community tanks with other peaceful, similarly sized fish. Avoid keeping them with overly aggressive species or very small fish that may be seen as prey.

Behavior: Active and inquisitive, they are bottom dwellers that spend much of their time sifting through the substrate. Males may develop longer, thread-like extensions on their fins as they mature, adding to their striking appearance.

Fun Fact: The Albino Heckelii Threadfin Acara is prized for its unique albino coloration and delicate, thread-like fin extensions, which give it a graceful, elegant appearance. Their peaceful nature and stunning looks make them a favorite among aquarists seeking an attractive yet manageable cichlid for community tanks.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
