Acaronia nassa

Acaronia nassa is an unknown South American cichlid. Because of their unobtrusive colour not many aquarists keep them.

Acaronia nassa

Among themselves, Acaronia nassa are only reasonably tolerant if they have the space and each have their own cave (eg in the form of a large flower pot) to retreat into. A large territory is set up in the vicinity of that cave. This fish does not stir in the bottom and any plants are left alone.

Synonyms: Acara nassa, Acara cognatus, Acara unicolor, Centrarchus rostratus, Apistogramma ambloplitoides

Origin

South America; Bolivia, Brazil, Guyana.

Diet

Powerful live food in the form of small fish, lobster and aquatic insects should be given as food. Over time, dry food is also accepted.

Breeding Acaronia nassa

I couldn’t find much about breeding in the aquarium.
