  abstract = {{A}cara, #{G}eophagus brasiliensis$, and red-breasted bream, #{T}ilapia rendalli$, are important planktivorous cichlids in {S}outhern {B}razilian lakes and reservoirs. {I}n laboratory experiments, {I} quantified behavior and selectivity of different sizes of these two fish feeding on lake zooplankton. {F}eeding behavior depended on fish size. {F}ish <30 mm were visual feeders. {F}ish 30-50 mm either visually feed or pump-filter fed depending on zooplankton size. {F}ish >70 mm were pump-filter feeders. {R}eplicate 1 h feeding trials revealed that, as the relative proportions of prey changed during an experiment, acara (30-42 mm, standard lenght) and tilapia (29-42 mm) shifted from visual feeding on large evasive copepods to filter feeding on small cladocerans and rotifers. {E}lectivity and feeding rate increased with prey lenght, but were distinct for similar-sized cladocerans and copepods. {V}isual/filter-feeding fish had lowest electivities for small and poorly evasive rotifers and cyclopoid nauplii.
