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. However, the black acara species has been accidentally introduced to numerous other areas within Florida's southern peninsula.
The species was first described in 1758 by Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus.
