Its a PBASS thats all you need to know.............. BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If he is eating blood worms feed him blood worms too. I always try different foods with new fish. If they take it great if not give them what they will eat. If you can get him on a varied diet now youre miles ahead of the game.
Thanks everyone. I assume it's a mono but will just have to wait and see. It was just labled as peacock bass. Unfortunately I can't take any pictures. I have him in my tank at work just for quarentein and grow out and my work doesn't allow any camera's. When it get's to 5 inches I'll bring it home and get some pics up. Maybe it will be big enough to ID by them.
How fast should I expect this guy to grow?

Congrats on your first. I'm too new to Cichla spp. to be giving out much advice, but one thing I would say is to get your temp up a couple more degrees. It should grow at least an inch per month up to a point...faster growth when it's that small.
thats the exact kind of mentallality that results in a fish ending up in poor health, death, or having to be givin away!!Wrestler 4 Life;2461393; said:
do yourself a favor and think before you talk.
I'm a chemist. I work in a laboratory that does an lot of highly confidential environmental testing. It's mostly just a precaution, but it is a rule listed in our policy manual. I doubt I would get in much trouble, but it's better safe then sorry these days.
