i have around 50 3"-4"orinoco cichlas in my 80L aquarium,feed on frozen bloodworms and little feeders caught from river. compared with monoculus, they eat not as much as mono. i'm using heater at 29'C or around 302K for both mono and orinoco, it's only for preventing the night temp,because at the afternoon the temperature is usually rising to 32'C-33'C. I heard from some local shops that heater is just used for preventing the 'white-spot' disease...
Peacock Bass feel more comfortable in warm waters, that's part of their natural habitat. But it does help prevent ich and keep it away.

That's really cool that you have so many! It must be fun to watch and feed them!

Thanks all, monoculus are about 3.5"-4.5", orinoco 3"-4". It's easy and cheap to get monoculus here in Indonesia, and orinoco comes regularly from some breeders. Thanks to God Indonesia is a tropical country so we're not worried about the water temp :D. Yeah it's very fun to watch them,especially when feeding time, they eat like monster and never feel full lol.

Not 50 pbass, but I had about 24 pbass at one time in my 125g. I love to see big groups and it's fun at feeding time. I sold a whole bunch to thin down the herd, down to 15 now.
