[hydro4892]

Anyone know of the best possible way to grow these little guys up fast? Any reccomendations on food? They are in a 20 gallon with a sponge filter and heater, thats all i got in there. Any suggestions or help would be grately appreciated! thanks!

P.S. --I am also trying to sell them once they get 2 inches.

baby brine shrimp fr a while and then move onto other frozen foods. as soonas they can take Hikari Cichlid Bio-Gold pellets get them on it ASAP becuause it makes them grow FAST.

Higher temp's and water changes along with mass feedings.

yes i can get some pics of parents and babies, and thank you for the help! And one more thing, can I just use other cichlid pellets i have for the babies? Instead of the Hikari? or is Hikari a special formula for babies? thanks again.

i breed all kinds of peacock and sell them at about 1.5 inches. the best luck i have had is put them in a long tank height don't matter as much. i do water changes once every other day and feed a very good crushed flake in the morning and baby brine shrimp in the evening. o ya and having a bare bottom so they can find all the food threwout the day

what kind of peacocks do you breed wheatgerm?, I also am having trouble selling my babies, no petshops want them (.... I sell a few hear and there to people i know who are interested, but that's it.

I am in oregon and a lot of keepers on this side of the states love peacock bass including me. One problem in getting new pbass is our others are too big to get new babies. Unless of course you're lucky enough to have mult. Large tanks. Try growing them a bit more, p.s. I would be interested if you can ship...
