Last week I posted a topic asking if you guys thought I could add a p.bass or 2 in an aquarium that already had 2 devils, a black shark, and a jag. Most of you said negative as the current stock in the 125g were a pretty agressive bunch. How about if I rehomed my largest most agressive fish in the shark from the community? With 2 devils and a Jag, how would a pbass or 2 fare?
 
most species of pbass wouldn't fare well even if you had no fish in the 125.

Mono's, occels- 26"+, Tems- 36"+ (common pbass)

Kelberi and Intermedia average around 16-20", but get pricey (uncommon + high demand).
 
I was under the impression that there was a pbass that tops out at around 16 inches? This is what the LFS guy is telling me, would that then be innacurate?
 
Any of the fish you have, unless they're very small, would give pbass a really hard time unless the bass were much larger and established in the tank before any jags or devils were introduced. Just the fact that the devils and jag are already established oculd mean some big trouble for a pbass.
 
as said before, it wouldnt be a good idea..

I always thought pbass were pretty agressive themselves no?

Yes, if they're the first in the tank. Even then, they're a piscivore. They're not really made for fighting like a devil or a jag.
