I recently bought two 6" Blue Azul Peacock Bass, he said they was 7" when I bought them but I would say around 5-6" . The only problem is they seam to be fussy eaters. They only eat Cichlid Gold floating pellets but they hardly touch that , I have seen them eat maybe one granular a day . He said the Peacock Bass was around 8 month old they seam very small for that age. I have tried them with earthworms but they won't touch them, I've tried them with prawns mussels etc but they won't touch them. They seam very lively in my tank & have settled in quickly. They look like they are looking for food but it is annoying when they don't eat. If anybody has any advice how to get them eating & growing fast that would be much appreciated.
They eat bloodworm but I can't see what good that will do them. I wished they'd eat the earthworms & liver then they would soon grow.
They are in a 8ft 28" 28" tank with a 2ft red arowana two large greedy Tinfoil barbs a Flagtail & a few young moody Datnoids.
the 2ft Arowana does not bother the Peacock Bass & the Peacock are no longer scared of him, I put two young largemouth bass in at the same time as the peacock bass & the arowana hunted them none stop so I had to take them back.
I was going to attach a video of them but I can't work out how to do it, I will upload some on to You Tube & do it that way later
