That is a nice fish, but it is too big for you tank. It does grow to
6", and it is a cichlid. I would think that a 50gal or larger would be
a good tank size. 

The Blue Acara is a non-agressive fish, but it is still a
carnivore. It will eat anything that fits in its mouth. Like most
guppies. The fine print on fishprofiles reads: "peaceful towards
non-agressive fish of a similar size..."

The newsgroup rec.aquaria.freshwater.cichlids is a good place to ask
questions about the Acara, and other cichlids.
