I plan on adding my small peacock bass (around 3 inches) into my 75g with my 6 inch orino peacock bass and was wondering if he will try to eat them
Just How Agressive are Peacock Bass?

3 inches with 6 inches is a bad idea I tried 4 inches with 6 inches and still a bad idea. Even if he cannt eat him, the bigger one will probably bully the little one all day long.
I would say, try it.....don't really know the aggression level of your orino. I have put my smaller pbass with my old orino. Orino was 10'' and I dropped 6'',5'',4'' in to the tank with my much bigger bass, nothing happened. My biggest bass in the tank was 14''. If you really want to try it out, Feed the orino good before introducing the smaller bass.
im sure its goin to be alot of 50/50 with this issue... becuase i had monos and added a few ocells and the biggest mono was maybe 12" and the smallest ocell was 4" and i fed my current bass before adding the smaller ones and i left came home and the little guy was GONE...
best of luck

I had a similer issue w/ my cichla. I introduced my 2.5" Monos w/ my 3.5" Orinos about 2 monthes ago, the Orinos would pick on the Monos but nothing too serious. Now my monos are almost twice the size of the Orinos, and pick on them. Lol, what goes around comes around.
Before- the Monos are the smaller ones in the pic.
2 Months later!
Sorry to blow up your thread w/ pics...just tryin to give you an idea of what to expect, as far as Mono growth vs. Orino growth.
