i was thinking of adding another school of somethig else, maybe t.barbs or something i dont know..will the blue's get along in a community or..?

Ive never messed with Blue Acara's before but I would worry when they get bigger if not big already they may try eating your tetra's. Even though there some of the more placid cichlids they still will have that prey drive seeing how most cichlids are opportunistic eaters.

blue Acaras are great fish they get to around 7"
considered to be mildly aggressive

the rummies may become targets eventually
