i think they were cichla ocellaris......but im not positive......i might have to run back over and check...........but i thought it was a pretty good deal.........was size tank do they need permanetly? i know they get huge.....i am getting a 120gal. in a July and am really interested in them......i don't think that will hold them permanetly but it will for a little while if they are at 2 inches...........
the longest they will last in a 120 is a year and that would be pushing it. P-bass are a large robust and fast fish that eat a ton and need alot of room. For life a minimum size for a pair is a 300 gal (8'x30" footprint) Ideally you would have something at least 4' wide. Im going to move mine (~6") from a 6x2x1 tank to a 7x2x2 tank. Once they hit the 16" mark I am probably going to sell them, because I will not be able to get a bigger tank
yea thats what i was thinking about doing.....because i NEVER see them around here.......so i figured i could have em in the 120 till they get to big and give em to a good home...........
2 - 10 inches can be anywhere from 6-7 to a year unless u load them with food 3 times a day which should only be done when they are under 4-5 inches thern they will grow faster
