not a stupid question at all. you'd only sound like an idiot if you already bought it then asked.
most peacock bass will outgrow the 55g within a year. if that's all you've got and plan to have, i'd stay away for now.

yup i agree with all the other posts. and good job buy asking before buying alot of people make that mistake.
I have a 60g that i have used to grow out a few smaller cichla to about 8" or so before putting them into a bigger tank. which took well under a year
please dont ever be afraid to ask questions. Thats one of the most annoying things about keeping fish is when people attack you for not knowing something. Were nice over here in the cichla section

You wont be so lucky over in the cold water / natives section. Everytime I go over there I end up in an argument
Hi guys,i dont know anything about pbass at all but i was wondering whats the minimum tank size for life for any species of pbass,i personally would like to know,also it will answer fishaddicts q too,and on the catfish forum there is a guy who is thinking of getting one for his already overstocked 75g,think the thread is called which cat by multispeciestamer,the guys over there have told him its too small but he seems to know everything so cant be told.

I'd say minimum would be 8'x3'x2' for monos or orinos. You would need a much bigger tank for temensis though. Maybe 12'x4'x3' would be about enough for a 3ft temensis.
You could probably keep a kelberi in a smaller tank but since we live in the uk it will be near impossible to get one.
