I am getting a Temensis Bass and have some questions.
He will be in a 30 g outgrow with
1x Oscar
1x Flowerhorn
1x Midas
1x Nigaraguensis
1x Jack Dempsey
1x Green Terror
1x Walking Catfish

All the fish are 2"-3" and the Bass too.
Will it work?
Is the Bass aggressive?
What is the max. size of a Temensis?

sorry for my other reponse as i said they have big mouths and like oscars they will eat anything that fits in its mouth. they grow up to 22 inch ive seen. My pbass(4.5 in) just eat live food and some carnivorus pelets
 
in my experiences, peacock bass are huge wussies until they put some weight on. they're pretty much defenseless when they're small. almost all of the fish you have are going to get more aggressive with size. probably not too good of a chance the bass ISN'T going to get bullied. gotta try it to find out.

good luck

i know mine stays at the bottem some times :-/ when ever i feed he comes out more he just eat 7 feeders and his stomac is big
 
I agree with killz. also when they are that small they are very prone to ich . oscars are greedy pigs and not very nice . the stress and competition for food would probably be too much for it in a 30 gal
