Can two different species of peacock bass be kept together? I currently have 3 silver arowanas (18") and two plecos and am thinking about getting an oscellaris (6") and an orinocensis (5"). There's two orino's at the fish store going for $120 usd and an oscellaris at a different store going for $60 usd. Im definately getting the oscellaris, but am wondering if i should get one or both orinos or just another oscellaris.
 
Theyll be fine together but is iit both orinos for 120? If not thats steep!!! Even if its for both thats still pretty high
 
Yeah they're $120 each. Any Peacock bass is pretty rare in Las Vegas, especially ones that are 6"+. I mostly see 1-2" going for about $15. How much are they typically in California?

Damn it...where were you 2 weeks ago...haha jk.

Are the 2 orinos at Luckys? If they are, those were mine. I was selling 3 orinos a few weeks ago at $40 each and only one got sold. I believe the ocell you are talking about is at Trop aquarium. I would stay away from that one cause it looks unhealthy.

How many cichlas did you see at Luckys? I brought in 2 orinos, 2 ocells and 1 mono. I heard the ocell was going for $150....and i was asking $50. I wonder if any got sold.
 
Damn lol, were you posting on CL? Unfortunately i already put the down payment on the ocellaris at Trop lol, so im stuck with it. Last time i went to lucky, there was two large ocellaris, one large orino, 3 medium mono, 2 (5-6") orino, 2 small kelberi and one small ocellaris.

Do you have any more pbass for sale by chance?

Wow I wish I would have joined this forum sooner lol. I have been checking CL daily for the past few months, looking for cichla and aquariums. I recognize those orinos. The orino I have reserved at Lucky is the 5.5 inch one lol. I am paying $120 though lol.
 
Yeah i thought about putting on CL but i wasnt sure about the policy and have heard about people trying to selling fish and getting their ad deleted. The orino you are getting was the 2nd biggest from the batch and was my favorite because of all the extra spangling it had. Sucks you paying alot more but its an awesome cichla.
 
Here's a pic of the pbass i got from trop it is around 5" and was $65 w/ tax.
