Well, I got my 2 little ocell/mono's about 2-3 weeks ago. I first got into pbass about a month ago. I bought three and two of the smaller ones were munched by my marbled cat. Same size as them when I got them, a week later he grew an inch and ate em. One lived. Only to be munched about a month later:cry:. He was my favorite one too. But anyways, to make up for the two that were originally munched, I bought the first two I mentioned. I also bought a pbass labeled as temensis (Still not sure due to him only having two vertical stripes at 3" or so.) I now have my 1.5" and 2" mono/occel on cichlid bio gold and the temensis to follow suit. Although thankfully, they have never eaten live in my tanks, only FD BW and FD Krill. In a few months I am building an 8'x4'x30" or so plywood for all my monsters to go into in about 6-8 months. My catfish is now 8" and arowana about 4-6". I have my remaining pbass in a 20g growout, soon to go into a 30g growout. I may have to rehome/buy them another tank to continue the growout process. Due to the rate my catfish is growing (about 5" this month:WHOA:), I don't think my pbass will ever be with him until he reaches about 20" and tapers off his growth rate. If anyone wants pics/proof of my catfish's growth or my baby pbass eating cichlid gold, just ask in this thread or PM me.
 
If you won't have your bigger tank built in 6-8 months from now, I'd say you'll need another growout tank for the pbass alone, you can probably get close to an inch a month and I think a 30g tank would be too small, I think a 75 would be the minimum you could go with until you have your big tank built.

I'm just going to put a divider in the 140 as un-aesthetically pleasing it is.
 
3 ATM. And what I meant in my second sentence was that I first got pbass a month ago. I have been researching them for a year or so.

Of them owning pellets? Just be forewarned, my camera *cough* phone, is pretty terrible.
