I've kept 8x 15"-20" bass in a 300gal tank for a while. Along with 5x 12"-15" in a 180gal tank. They did fine for years. At the end of it the basses final home was a 8'x30"x30" tank.
thats a huge tank for a single peacock bass, a tank of that size can easily accommodate a few more fish, is there a specific reason as why u would like to only keep one? budget? worried of fights?
i feel that it would be underutilized ur tank,
but thats up to you, perhasp u can add in other fish ?

if you are planning to grow them from young all the way to adults and what kind of filtration system you are using ( due to bioload, peacocks are heavy eaters) if you are running a sump tank i would say u can even go up to 8 full adults, i personally am grooming from young a batch of 20, (currently 5") in my 5 x 2 x 2 ft, i will start to weed out the weaker not so nice looking ones and transfer them into another tank or sell them. If you are running a canister then please do not use my advise as i only am familiar with sump setups.
bottom line. for a 6x2.5 x3 ft the size is not an issue as the fish can easily turn and swim, but bioload would be ur main factor in decided how many pieces.
