My first Peacock bass

[TimTheBadass]

Hi there I've got my peacock bass tank up and running now. I bought 2 temensis and 1 ocellaris at 4". They are currently growing in a 30g. I have the water temp at 82-84, ph 6.5-7 and I'm feeding them frozen bloodworm. I did give them 10 tetras when they first went in the tank but fish shops in the uk don't sell feeders so live fish would be too expensive. The bass feed really well on bloodworm devouring 2 blocks between them in minutes. When they reach 6-7" they are going into a 150g tank.

Am I doing everything right. Any tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks

sounds like you are doing everything right so far. try some diced up shrimp next time you feed.

I'm thinking of getting 3 or 4 more ocellaris I like them so much. From what I've seen they are the most impressive cichlid about when they're big. How many ocellaris can I keep in a 370g tank with a silver arowana and a tiger shovelnose?
