Zebra acara

The zebra acara, Ivanacara adoketa, is a small freshwater cichlid fish from the Rio Uaupes and the Rio Preto, two side rivers of the Rio Negro in Brazil. It was described in 1993 by Sven Kullander and Saul Prada-Pedreros as Nannacara adoketa, and the placement in the genus Ivanacara is used by aquarists although FishBase notes it still needs scientific confirmation. Wikipedia gives a length of up to 10 centimetres total length, while FishBase lists a maximum of 4.9 centimetres standard length for a male. It prefers soft, acidic tropical water with a pH between 4.5 and 6.0 and a temperature between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius. A specimen record describes it collected from a small stream in inundable forest, and amber-colored eggs, 200 to 300 in number, are laid on roots with both parents guarding the eggs and larvae.
