Albino Threadfin Acara

The Albino Threadfin Acara (Acarichthys heckelii), also called the Albino Heckelii Cichlid, is a rare and elegant freshwater fish known for its delicate white or pale yellow coloration and flowing, thread-like extensions on its fins. Originating from the slow-moving rivers and floodplains of South America, this species is prized for its beauty and peaceful temperament.

Key Care Points:

• Diet: Omnivorous; thrives on a varied diet of high-quality pellets, flakes, live, or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms.
• Lifespan: Typically lives 8-10 years with proper care.
• Max Size: Grows up to 7 inches (20 cm) in captivity.

The Albino Threadfin Acara’s unique appearance, graceful fins, and manageable temperament make it a stunning addition to peaceful South American-themed aquariums.
