We used the blue acara cichlid as a model diurnal predator species. |
The blue acara is an easy fish to care for, and a suitable addition to community tanks of medium to large fish. |
In the present study we experimentally reduced brood size in the Panamanian acara, Aequidens coeruleopunctatus. |
Blue acara cichlids and guppies were obtained from a local aquarium fish supplier and were therefore of unknown origin. |
