I know the feeling
I bought the peacock cichlid along with the royal green terror. I cleared out a large portion of my 125 gal. to accomodate the peacock for less than a year. here's a pic of my new baby. wooooooooooooooooooooo. one of the kids at the fish store gave me the "thataboy, way to grow some balls" fist-pump-head-nod- approval as I announced that I will be taking a peacock bass. (I walked in there like a jackass and actually "announced" that I would be buying one, it was inadvertant though, im not that corny.) When he's too big they have about a 600 gal. tank to take him in to in a year or less. I'm excited and I'm in the market for a square tank 48/48/24 for my class room. This will be the home of my peacock bass if I get a chance to buy this. I need to find a tank this size now.

I feel you bro. I would get it and sell it back to your pet store and make a couple of bucks, since you won't be able to keep it when it gets bigger .
.Took a couple tries but I found it. Lukanani is the common name for the Cichla ocellaris species in both Guyana and, for some ungodly reason, Sweden.downset21 said:
thanks for the info... the peacock bass experts on here ID'd it as cichla monoculus. I guess we'll all know what it is in 4 months.
my largest tank is a 125 too, when i got it i thought it was huge. i really knew nothing about aquariums at the time, now i think the tank is tiny. im planning on building a 350gal or so. i kills me every time i go to the lfs, becouse every fish that i want to keep needs so much more room to live comfortably. i think my 125 is already crowded with 4med size oscars, 2 med jd and a med 4line cat. guess i better get started on that 350....
