The Acará is very similar to the Angelfish (Pterophyllum) is a freshwater fish genus belonging to the family Cichlidae which currently consists of three endemic species of South America. It lives in shoals and feeds mainly on small crustaceans, fish, worms, insects and other organic materials. In the breeding season form couples who come to defend a territory and far from him all the fish that inhabit it.
