Hooked on Pbass

[Jhawk974]

Back in September I was given 2 tiny pbass for my birthday was going to give them away since I don't have room for anything over 240 gallon tank. Now we are thinking about keeping them but will a 240 hold them for 18 month?

18th months? when they are juv <8" i would say they grow at 1 inch a month, with a 240G tank 2 peacocks would defiantly be fine

18 month is what we have on our lease. Right now they are around 3-4 inches.

Plenty of time.

I'm glad you both said yes. Never liked them in the store but after having them they remind me of Oscar

probably go a few years in a 240

That's what I was thinking but one has grown just over 3 inches in 7 weeks. Had to move him to a tank alone till the others catch up

Wow, what have u been feeding him? when they are small they grow super fast, its fun to watch and feed. enjoy it

I got them on Massivore a few days after getting them. Plus we feed 3 times a day.

Grab yourself an orino or two. Do what you have to...break the bank etc. You will not regret it. And then start saving for a bigger tank And you can always beef up the filtration on your 240g.
