This is my first Kelberi batch and love seeing them mature. I bought them at a LFS 4 months ago and took a while getting them from live to dry food, but the time spent is well worth it. As you can see I added plants a couple of weeks ago and got the biggest one really stressed out. Took him a while to get back to normal. Wondering how they will turn out when they are fully grown.

Thanks for the comment! Driftwood gets expensive but definitely makes the tank stand out. The bass love hiding under it. I'm 90% sure they are Kelberi. The LFS is specializes in peacock bass. He has all kinds from Xingus, to Monos to hybrids. What do you guys think? Kelberi or Mono?

They are kelberis. Monos usually have minimal to not a spangle. That's why they charge so much for for kelberis.

They're kelberi, look like Bahia. minimonsterkeeper minimonsterkeeper your bass aren't kelberi look at the difference in the head and body shape, the bars, the tail markings.
