Who here has bred peacock bass?

So...who here has bred peacock bass before?

 

[gangster]

Should be..."who has bred cichla that they have raised from fry...to breeding pairs".
Its the growing em out process that takes the time, patience, dedication and skill.

This is a cool idea. I think to keep people from asking so many questions about what you mean by breeding, it might help to have some more responses to indicate degrees of success. Please don't be mad at me, this is just how my sciency brain works in the morning. Blame my work!


Category 1: Were you trying to pair your Cichla?
- unplanned pairing
- planned pairing

Category 2: How far along?
- eggs laid, no hatching
- got to wigglers
- got to 2 inches
- got to 5 inches
- got to 12 inches

Category 3: Status at time of max size
- died
- sold
- still have them
- some died, some sold
- some of all three

If done with the right pbass and you raise all the fry. You could potentially make a couple grand off of them. I feel this would be an aw esome fish to breed. Id love to try eventuallym
