Jack Dempsey and Peacock Bass compatibility?

[crozierk]

Howdy folks, I was wondering if Peacock Bass and Jack Dempseys would be compatible? PBs would be maybe an inch bigger then the dempseys.​

hmmm,I am not too familiar with peacock basses,but I know that Jack dempseys can be very tame,but at the same time go ballistic on another fish.

It may work....be aware that small bass under 7" need a temp of 87 w/ tons of airation to ward of ich. But the combo should work.

yeah right now I have it set at 87, plus 3 pretty good sized airstones. Idk, I was just thinking about tank mates and wondered about Jack Dempseys. I dont want to get my bass or any other fish tore up, so I think Ill hold up on adding any fish. Pbass are by far the coolest fish Ive ever had, so it wont break my heart to keep them in a species only tank
