Super Orange Acara Cichlid 3-4" Live Freshwater Rare Tropical Aquarium Fish

The Super Orange Acara is a beautiful and eye-catching freshwater cichlid admired for its vibrant orange coloration, attractive body shape, and engaging personality. This colorful Acara variety is an excellent choice for aquarium enthusiasts looking for a distinctive and impressive South American-style cichlid.

The fish you will receive measures approximately 3–4 inches.

As it matures, the Super Orange Acara may develop deeper orange and golden tones, with subtle iridescent highlights that enhance its overall appearance. Color intensity can vary depending on genetics, maturity, diet, lighting, and aquarium conditions. Its confident swimming behavior and curious personality make it an attractive centerpiece fish.

Super Orange Acaras thrive in spacious, well-maintained freshwater aquariums with excellent filtration, stable water parameters, and moderate water movement. A natural setup featuring driftwood, smooth rocks, sandy substrate, and caves provides hiding places and helps reduce stress.

Like other medium-sized Acara-type cichlids, these fish may become territorial as they mature, particularly during breeding. They are best kept with appropriately sized, compatible tankmates that can comfortably coexist with their behavior. Providing adequate swimming space and multiple hiding areas helps reduce aggression.

As omnivores, Super Orange Acaras readily accept high-quality cichlid pellets, frozen foods, brine shrimp, bloodworms, and occasional vegetable-based supplements. A balanced and varied diet supports healthy growth and helps maintain their natural coloration.

The Super Orange Acara is an excellent addition to freshwater cichlid collections, offering beautiful coloration, interesting behavior, and impressive display potential.

Each fish is carefully selected and professionally packed with oxygen and insulation for transportation. Photos are representative; natural variations in orange intensity, coloration, markings, and overall appearance may occur. Fish are sold unsexed.

You will receive 1 healthy Super Orange Acara approximately 3–4 inches.
