I have really thinking about getting some peacock bass but I am unsure of what species I want, I have done tons of reading and lots of searches on google I found out quite a bit but still not sure what species would be best to start off with, I really like the coloring of Orino's but not sure if it would be a good beginer Peacock?
I want to get a group of fry and grow them out ( another reason why I am leaning towards orino's, fairly cheap, great coloration, and don't get as big so I would have room for a group of 4 or so )
If I do get them they will be small 1.5 inches and most likely wouldn't be pellet trained so about what size should I attempt to train them to eat pellets?
I know how silly this sounds but I would like to hear from people who have kept Orino's , would you recomend them? what kind of temperment do they have ... would they go out of there way to start a scuffle?
what is the best kind of lighting to use to bring out their bright greens ?
what tank mates would you suggest?
Please do not say to use google, cause I am, but I would also like to hear personal experiences from people who kept/ keeps them, I know there are quite a few people who I would call experts when it comes to cichla and I value what they have to say.
