Hello I'm fairly new to peacock bass, and would like to know the minimum size tank for two monos, a oscar, and a common pleco. Oh yeah this would be my first post. :D
 
Tank size will depend on the size of the fish at the time of purchase..
but to give you a heads up, once theyve all fully matured your gonna wanna have a 180gal as a minimum id say.

pbass need AT LEAST a tank as wide as them. And monos max out at 24". So im going to say 180g, at least

Seems fair. K thanks everyone I know what size I'm looking for now. Oh yeah Happy Thanksgiving. :headbang2

I seen a couple of tanks that kept both so I guess its a 50/50 chance?

Ya it seems like it could work, but i have never seen it done or tried so idk. If you were getting a bigger tank, or maybe even in that one look into getting more peacock bass
 
240g.
simply cause you'll end up with many more pbass than 2. :headbang2
make sure they cant swallow that pleco.
i caught a two incher trying to swallow a 1.5 inch long pleco and it died. :WHOA:
and welcome!

i have a 125g with 6 temensis and an oscar together.
the oscar shows aggression by chasing them a little,but no problems at all.
the tems also chase the oscar around.:D
 
I got a 5" oscar in a pbass tank. the bass range from 4.5-6" and they dont bother eachother
