could i add a peacock bass

[honda237]

I am getting a 180g in the spring but i am looking for something that i could add.
Could i add a peacock bass and if so which one with the best color and personality?

My current stock is
3 oscar
2 convicts
1 green terror
1 jack dempsey
1 chocolate pleco
Would a peacock bass eat my convicts?

sure thing

you can grow some out but they will need a huge tank
the only thing you can keep in a 180 is CICHLA KELBERI which go for a good amount of money

ok, i don't know much about them. didn't mean to sound dumb. i didn't know if they would but i figured they would eat the convicts
How much?

Bottom line, if its fits in there mouth, it will be a meal....Good luck

I agree if it fits in their mouth consider it bait!
