Do peacock bass have a prob with hole in the head disease? If I talk my wife into 1 more tank (210gal) which cichla species for size of tank, & how many would you experts rec.
 
yes they do. if you feed them bad or diseased feeders. but if you take them off those feeders and feed them quarantined fish the disease will clear up
 
a 210 is fine, most people get rid of their pbass before they reach that size, either out of bordum or they just want to start over. The only pbass I've ever had get HITH is ocellaris, the others like tems, orinos, monoculas, etc., never had a problem with them. I've seen monoculas bred in a 125 by red1, so a 210 is fine, if others chose to go bigger, then thats great, but your fine. It's mostly a braggin right of the "BIGGEST" tank.
