breeding my peacock bass

[haffypamily]

just wondering if anyone could give me some hints to get my fish to breed. They are about two years old and from what i've gotten from the internet, this is when the female should be getting ready. The male has had the red bump on his head for about a year now. I'm just wondering about what temp to keep the water at and if I need to place anything special in there for her to lay the eggs on. Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Hello, it was my understanding that no one had yet bread peacock bass in an aquarium. I have read that the only breading that happens in captivity is in large ponds with multiple adults.

People on this forum have bred them in tanks.

Rick Perez bred them years ago

And so has Darrin,

I believe both had been breeding them starting 3-8 years ago in Aquariums
