Comment

The Acará is very similar to the Angelfish (Pterophyllum) is a freshwater fish genus belonging to the family Cichlidae which currently consists of three endemic species of South America. It lives in shoals and feeds mainly on small crustaceans, fish, worms, insects and other organic materials. In the breeding season form couples who come to defend a territory and far from him all the fish that inhabit it.

Interesting fact

The 1000 Cruzeiros coin was the highest denomination coin in circulation in Brazil at the time of its introduction in 1992. It was designed to reduce the need for large banknotes, which were often cumbersome and difficult to use in everyday transactions. The coin's unique design and high denomination made it a popular collector's item, and it remains a sought-after piece among numismatists today.
