Hi, I have already posted this up in the Arowana forum but I would like to know what Peacock bass owners think since I have never owned any cichlas before. But I use to have a 10" black aro and raised it up until about 17-18" and sold him just recently. So here is what I posted.

I think I may have done a terrible thing. I ordered..
(4x) 3" baby blacks
(2x) 1"Cichla Orinos. Will they get along in a big tank? I already have in my tank are...
(2x) 2" Silver Dollars
(1x) 6.5" Flagtail.

I kinda have a clue that maybe the cichlas will give the blacks a hard time.

It will arrive within a couple days. I didn't even think about them getting along what not. But if they do, I only plan on keeping them all in there until they need a larger tank, than I will separte them if I have to. I just wouldn't like them to get all tore up.
 
Damn bro. Should've told me you was ordering from Rich. I will buy your orinos off you. :naughty:. I assume thats who you ordered from. You will need to separate the orinos and aro. I aint just saying that either ask around. I would hate to see you lose some nice cichla. Mine are growing like no other.
 
they will be fish food
 
best thing to do is to get a divider setup until the cichla are big enough that they cant be eaten
 
my previous black was such a pansy so I thought this might work. I'll keep you guys posted.
