at the end of the day, the proof is in the pudding tankmasta. lets see them pics? Unfortunately for you, you're not going to get anywhere in this hobby with ignorance. The fact of the matter is, you're just misinformed.

Agreed.

I'm speaking of all the bass I have kept and I have only lost a hand full (5 bass due to filter coming unattached from the tank and not common bass either). The bass were 12-15".

That being said, most WILD bass come in with parasites Internal and external. Higher temps will induce higher metabolism for smaller bass, the more they eat, the better to help fight off parasites and what not.

Look I'm not trying too argue with whoever about peacock bass. I have already went along way in this hobby. When running aquarium setups in fresh and salt everyone will tell you something different. I can only vouch for what has worked for me. I have never even seen anyone run a tank at 90 degrees. That's hot. But anyway here's some Picts of some of my fish.

Gotcha, no issues here. I'm not saying to keep it at 90. But certainly not 80. I'd rather be on the high side of the spectrum any day.

That's true. I honestly try too avoid getting real small bass if u can. Sometimes I find them for cheap and get them anyway but, I know you know what you are talking about I just didn't appreciate bass guy saying things about someone he knows nothing about. But I guess this is how this site is I'm new too site but not aquariums.

unfortunately most cichla are brought in at the 1-3" size and we have the take the extra precautions with them.
the high temps are to combat issues like hayn mentioned Larger bass can handle the lower range temp tho. It's just not worth the risk when you have thousands of dollars in fish not to go the extra step.

Just because you give yourself the name bass guy doesn't make you know everything. The guy has batch of small bass under three inches. They are tough too keep especially if you have never had them before. You might of grew yours in different water temps than me. If you had success good for you. I've had a lot of peacock bass. A lot of different times. But I guess you think your cool and know all the answers. I have my opinions to the guy who asked not a flamer who talks crap too someone he could never meet. Coward

I'll make two statements about your response and move on.
1) I never claimed to know it all, but I have had Cichla for over 10 years so I do have a bit of experience. I've had several grow out packs and the only one I lost babies from was the only batch that that was in temps lower than 86, two from ich, one from an internal parasite. I learned my lesson and now try to pass on my experience , not BS like newbies such as you. I don't post much, just what I have experience in, I've had my lesson by boostn over Kelb IDing in which I didn't have experience in at the time.
2) calling people names will not allow you to be part of this forums for long.
