I want a Peacock bass!

[yeroc1982]

Right now i have a 50g tank with superior filtration(FX5) and im really loving this fish, will be soon upgrading to 100-120g in the next month or so. Will i be ok with tanks this size?

 

[hghlndr85]

[yeroc1982]

Orino's and kelberi's are the slower growers of the cichla clan. So, i would start with those two if it fits in your budget. But, they will not last in a 100-120gal tank for life. With a group of 5 kelberi's and 5 orino's a 120gal will last a while. As of Mono's, ocell...they grow alright. 14'' in the first year. Tems.....fast growers. Can't really give advice on Azul's and Pinima's, i have never own them.

i have my 2 wc monos and orino, with a sun cat and a adult firemouth in a 125 for at least a year now, there around 10 inches each (bass) and they still have more room then they really use

Are the peacocks fun to watch or boring?

 

[gacericardo]

they are fun. trust me

 

[carnivorekeeper]

50/50 if not you can get trout

 

[yeroc1982]

is it better to get 2 rather than 1?

So i ended up gettin a 130 gallon tank. 48x24x26 high.
