%X SummaryThe state of Santa Catarina, because of its climate conditions and lack of alternative native species with commercial interest, does its pisciculture mainly of exotics species. It is one of the main localities for the culture of Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, (Linnaeus, 1758) and also where it will find many regions with favorable conditions for its growth. To those conditions, we have to add an excellent acceptance of this species by the market ofcompanies that process fish, and also by the consumer in general. Acara or Cara is the generic name assigned to various fishes of the family of Ciclideos, same family that the Tilapia belongs. The most common species of fresh water fish in Brazil is Geophagus brasiliensis (QUOY & GAIMARD, 1824), which can grow up to 25cm long and adapts very well to hot and cold regions. The objective of this research is to evaluate the reproductive potential, growth rate and adaptability of the Geophagus brasiliensis to offer the isciculturist an alternative of native species of commercial cultivation.ResumoO Estado de Santa Catarina, em fun  o das condi  es clim¨¢ticas e da falta de alternativas de esp¨¦cies nativas de interesse comercial, faz sua piscicultura com a maioria de esp¨¦cies ex¨®ticas. ¨¦ um dos locais onde mais se cultiva a Til¨¢pia Oreochromis niloticus, (Linnaeus, 1758) e tamb¨¦m onde ela encontra muitas regi es em condi  es favor¨¢veis para o seu crescimento. A estas condi  es, deveremos incorporar a excelente aceita  o desta esp¨¦cie, pelo mercado das empresas de manipula  o e beneficiamento do pescado, bem pelo consumidor em geral. O Acar¨¢ ou car¨¢ ¨¦ o nome gen¨¦rico atribu¨ªdo a diversos peixes da fam¨ªlia dos Cicl¨ªdeos, mesma fam¨ªlia a que pertence a Til¨¢pia.
