How do the two get along? I got jurense catfish and a lima , 1 african lungfish. How would peacock bass get along with these ? asuming nobody gets eaten:WHOA:
 
They should all be fine. Yet, it will all depend on the pbass and the lima... I never trust a lima. Maybe because my old lima killed a 12'' flowerhorn (lima was shy of 20'' I think).
 
I had a Juruense with Pbass before. The Jur got pretty beat up, and I ended up getting rid of it. A couple months ago I decided to bite the bullet and try a Tigrinus with my Bass. The Bass ignore the Tig. They are fine together. I also have a Megalodoris cat, and it is fine with the bass too. Fish personalities are all different, and it comes down to just giving it a shot, while keeping in mind it might not work.
 
I tried mixing a 12inch vulture cat in with a group of 12inch bass and the bass keep pounding on the cat to the point where i had to move it out of the tank.
 
Don't put the African lung in there. They don't play nice. Maybe work for a few months, then you wake up with a cichla in two pieces.
 
i got the peacocks
