Andinoacara latifrons, the platinum acara, is a species of fish in the family Cichlidae in the order Perciformes, native to the Magdalena, Atrato, Sinú, and San Juan River basins in Colombia.

The platinum acara spawns several times each year.

The female cleans a stone carefully and lays eggs on it afterward.

As they begin to increase in size the stone is completely covered by them.

Once the fry have emerged and can swim independently they surround their parents in a great shoal.
