Default blue acara in community tank

http://www.fishprofiles.com/profiles...uidens+pulcher
this says they are "Quite peaceful towards non-agressive fish of a similar
size, though still slightly territorial."
but read the whole profile

hello
My husband and i have kept tropical fish for about 19 years and have
had peacefull community tanks. In past years my husband kept cichlid
tanks with Oscars, Jack Dempsy's blue acaras etc (not all together).
We would like to get some blue acaras but the advice we have been
given differs as to whether we can keep these fish with other
community fish (tetras, corrys, danios, plecs, angel fish, rams etc)

Also can you keep more than one pair? and would you buy a few and see
if they pair off.

We have a 92gallon tank, which is 30" deep. We have a shoul(?-sorry
about spelling) of about 20 cardinals and the other fish mentioned
above in varying numbers including a breeding pair of angels.

i'm sure the tank is large enough for some blue acaras but i don't
want to upset things if their temperament isn't suitable.

Also what is the best food to feed them?

many thanks in advance
Linzi
