This will be the last update. Unfortunately, I have decided not to setup a pond for it. Lightning growth from a fingerling to an impressive 10" in just 5 months. It was wolfing down massivores like crazy & it will probably hit 2ft+ in a year. I gave it away to my LFS and they promised to...

an update... It's around 7" now, almost as big as my datnoids. I found a potential buyer but at the same time I don't want to let it go. I feel bad that I didn't set up the 300G pond for it, but its also a pain to set it up.

a little bigger and much darker! It's a normal paroon and it loves massivore! Will probably give it away when it reaches a foot.

Apparently, the indo love much warmer water to be stable @ 30 Celsius / 86F.

Glad you sold it locally I am curious! Is this a sting operation? or? I hope you don't have any piranha at your place, as the restricted species permit looks tedious to apply. :nilly:

I am curious, how can man made uv exposure turn a black eye fish in to red eye? Isn't uv exposure causes cancer too? if it reverts, red eye back to black eye? :nilly: it boggles my mind!

You guys were right! It turned back into a normal Paroon after I placed in a bigger darker tank.

Found this little one at local fish store. Looks a little pale than the rest, hope it will grow into a platinum.

just dirty glass, not ick sometimes I wonder, would mine be a grade F - ST? It got all the traits, even the tail bar doesn't touch. or could it be the result of Indo x NTT? Indo x ST? :naughty: Hybridization is a possibility!

It look so much like a ST :naughty:

I got to stop the addiction, I bought a new 9" NTT :nilly:

Yes it was in a shop, and it was getting bullied by a pair of red devils, hence the bite marks. I'd almost thought it was a ST. AT 9-10" long & at $200, it's a steal!

I don't know why I am buying fish again, but it's just too nice to pass up. :nilly:

going to get it fatten up with minnows

a pair of xingu and a few discus got it from ali express, see photo for details.

If this work, going to order a larger one! It got a viewing panel too!

Is it normal for a juvenile melaniae peacock bass to have head patterns? Or is this the result of cross breeding?

I thought I give it another try on peacock bass, but one of them didn't make it. It was a wild chase during netting at the vendor, and I think it died out of shock or muscle spasm during transit. :( Potential pair too, as both fish never fought in the same tank.

nothing fancy, 40G, should last about a year.

I am still abit confused, so your definition of ST's tail is only 2 bars as the pic above? or can they have 3 bars like the IT pic I have shown?
