i kept largemouth before.. ru sure it isnt the otherway around?? mine used to always eat the most food and steal food from the others. i would suggest that u try handfeeding ur large mouth bass to make sure he gets to eat
Obviously you have never kept peacock bass before, lol. I have done this combo before-short answer is that it doesn't work. The peacock bass out competed and eventually killed my largemouth bass. I suggest you separate them.
The gorging method will also not work-peacock bass are bottomless pits.

Thats not always true my wifes best friend volunteers at Bass pro in Springfield mo. and they had a lone large Peacock bass in a tank with some large Pacus and LMBs of about the same size, one of the LMBs who was smaller than the Peacock ruled the main ledge and would kick the crap out of the Peacock whenever it got close to that ledge (Ive seen this myself) or any of the other fish who came close (except when the 3 ft RTC swam up).
