Relevant Information: Similar to C.trilineatus from the same catchment area. So much so that there is a belief in some quarters that they are one and the same species (C. acrensis is C. trilineatus) due to only one specimen (the holotype) being described. Aquarium Care: This is akin to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed with small to medium sized tankmates such as Tetras, Rasboras and Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes. Best to purchase 6 individuals or more as they will be happier in a group. Diet: Readily accepts a mixed and varied diet which includes granular foods, tablet food, frozen bloodworm and good quality flake to name but a few.
Common Name: None
Synonyms: None
Family: Callichthyidaemblycipitidae
Distribution: South America: Brazil : Acre - Furo de Lago São, Fransisco, a tributary at the left bank of Rio Jurua.
Size: 5.5cm ( 2¼ins)
Temp: 23-26°C (73-79°F)
p.H. 6.0 -7.2.
