The black acara (Cichlasoma bimaculatum) is an omnivorous, freshwater, tropical fish. The species originates from South America, specifically in the Caroni River in the Orinoco Basin of Venezuela, Essequibo River in Guyana, and the Branco River drainage of the Amazon Basin. [2]

Cultured in Florida possibly since the 1930s, Cichlasoma bimaculatum remained an important part of the aquarium trade until the late 1950s, and probably was the first aquarium fish to become established in open waters of Florida (Courtenay and Stauffer 1990).

The acara species is a tropical freshwater fish in the family Cichlidae and goes by the names port cichlid, brown acara, two-spot cichlid, and the two-spotted cichlid. The scientific name is black acara cichlasoma bimaculatum.
