Hello im new to these fourms and im starting up my fish tank back and i am wanting to have 2/3 peacock bass if i can have more then one as i read on a wesite that its not a good idear to have more then one in a tank
I am wondering what would be the best setup and equipment needed i/e fitlers and good idears for plants and bits and bobs

I guess the first question would be what size is your tank? Then we would know how many you can realistically have

ideally you would get at least 3 similarly sized cichla so that the aggression is spread among the 3. Also helps during feeding time so that they compete for food.

125gal and an FX5 would be a good start.
