Where to start....
Kelberi's, orino's and interms (not sure, never owed one) are the slower growers of the group. If your looking to keep bass in a 60gals, A kelberi and orino's is your best bet in till you "up grade". Their growth rate can very from fish to fish, given the best environment IE: water changes, food, etc... your looking at 1'' every month and a half.
As for different types, (http://www.worlddiscus.com/cichla/) and there are also different variants of each.

p-bass are big predatory fish. How do you think it is going to do in a 60 gallon!!! if you bought it at 2-3 inches it would be happy in a 60 gallon for a while, probably 6 months max before it is ready to burst through the glass.
I'm no expert as I have never had a tank big enough to properly house them. I don't plan on getting any p-bass until I get at least a 8x2x2 tank, and even that will only be big enough for a couple.

so a 60 gal for a pbass is a no go ...... sad but alright. they look like amazing fish and my friend has one in his 125 .
you could house one for a bit , when was you planning on upgrading to a bigger tank ? if your Pbass our grows the 60 before you have a bigger tank maybe ask your friend to house yours till you get a bigger tank and maybe through a couple bucks to him for the feed and care ... I have no clue just a thought.
OP, a 60gal tank would be more then enough room to "GROW" out some pbass for a year or so (kelberi's and orino's).
What Pbass are you referring to that would "burst" a tank in 6 months? Or are you just assuming that they will? In stead of assuming, try and give suggestions and reasons from your experiences with pbass.aloys;4071931; said:
