Baby peacock bass tankmates

[Karalak42]

Helo guys
I just picked up 3 baby monolucus p bass yesterday 3 inch. They are now with 4 inch tsn 4 inch redtail and 4 inch clown knife babys. I have a 85 that is almost ready and I'm not sure with who to put the peacocks in it when I move them or keep them alone. Until all grown up a bit.

What would be your advice

Thx

i think they would easy lunch for any of those other 3 you mentioned, hopefully you have something substantially larger than an 85 ready in the next 6 months or less

Yes a 120 but broken.
A 170 a 300 but with their own inhabitants. Other story. But I can have a reserve. Now is just to growout ofc
And for this summer my project is to build indoor pond with cinder blocks and ponk Liner and isolation. Not sure of the size yet.

Do u think I can put the p bass back with some of those tank mates when they are bigger?

the TSN will out grow all of them and have them for lunch before long. bass go well with tons of cichlids though. flag tails arowana rays etc.

i bet the redtail eats the TSN first

Ok. Since the tsn are still small il r
Put them separately too atm. But can the redtail and knifefish be together for a while? Rtc 3 inch and knife 4

i never trust a catfish with anything that fits in its mouth, same for the knife... you're playing with fire and will need 500 gallons or more for the RTC

I've kept both and they grow at a simular rate if well kept. Probably be a race to who can eat the tank mates first

Knife grows as fast at catfish? Realy or did u mean tsn and rtc

Ok. I already moved the peacocks to another thank for them alone by now. But honestly do u think I can leave the others together for at least a few days the time I get an extra tank?
