Hello, I currently upgraded my 4 juvenile red terrors to a 180 gallon tank, the largest red terror is about 3 inches, there in with a tinfoil barb and a couple clown loaches for now, I have a friend who’s getting out of the hobby and he offered me his 2 peacock bass occelaris about 3 inches or so, wondering if they would all work together in the 180 as a grow out until there older and put in some size
Red terror with peacock bass in grow out tank?

There can be aggression from the red terrors if they perceive the pbass as competitors. The terrors really pack a punch. It certainly happened in my tank.
Thanks for the advice, maybe I can try growing out the bass abit in another tank before adding them
I think you will probably be ok to add them. You might want to pull out the most aggressive festaes until the peacocks get settled in the tank, then re-add them. Red terrors can be super aggressive, as Rocksor mentioned, but PB have different enough body shape that there is a good chance the festaes will ignore them in that size tank.
