Considering Peacocks

[humpngo]

Hello all.

I currently have 15 red belly piranha and am thinking about switching to P bass. I have a 180 gallon tank with 2 ac110s and an xp3, and it is heated by 500 watts. I know this tank is on the smaller side for Pbass but wanted to see what everyone on here thinks. Please leave me any feedback or suggestions. Thanks

not a big enough permanent home for any species of peacocks other than intermedia- which are a VERY rare peacock growing 18-20" and haveing price tags of $150-400 for 2-3"ers.

all other species grow to big for that to be a permanent home, but a decent grow out until you can get something much bigger. Mono's and orino's stay around 26"-28", Tems hit 3-4' if kept properly.

the three lastly listed are the most common, cheapest, and most seen peacocks. most other species are much rarer, and demand large price tags.
