The Acara is a species of Neopet that loves to live by the sea. They are amphibious - they can breath in water or on land. They also have two horn-like protrusions on their heads that allow them to hear well underwater, and a thick coat of fur to keep them warm.

Its name may come from two species of cichlids - a family of freshwater fish - the blue acara and the zebra acara.

Acaras are typically fantastic swimmers who enjoy diving for treasure. In the Neopets Trading Card Game, they are associated with the element of water.
