I got this little vacuum cleaner a couple of months ago at about 1.25"+/- long. It resides in my daughter's 20 gallon long aquarium.We're going to keep it there in the growout tank for another few weeks or a month, until it's just a little bit bigger. IMAG0671.jpgIt's about 4" long now. The little Peacock Bass' name is "Dyson", named by her of course. I told her I had always heard that as soon as you give a fish a name that something would happen to it, but she said that whoever told me that was "stupid". It eats anything that goes in the water. Everything from Hikari Massivore Pellets , sinking carnivore pellets, krill, earthworms, shrimp, ect... I am 99.9% sure it's just Cichla ocellaris. Everyone agree with that opinion?

Good looking little bass. I'm also getting a $4 farmie bass to grow out with my Orinos and Kelberis, just because. Will be interesting to see how it turns out.
 
I think a lot or all of them are hybrids but I really don't know. As for color, I've seen some pretty impressive mutts, so for under $10 I'm curious to see how it turns out.
