Hi guy's , Recently picked up three peacock bass "cichla ocellaris" (i'm new to bass if i've got the species name wrong please let me know !) I took these pic's the first night. Their colors have improved since then and they've grown and bulked up at a surprising rate , although I'm really enjoying watching them eat, they quickly work each other into a frenzy so they have been eating like little kings lol.

I'll try to get some new pic's over then next few days, the tank they are in now is sorta tucked away in a corner cant really get at it for pic's. But it will be easier to take pic's once moved into the new tank.

thanks ! I can wait until they put some size, need to them be 8-10" to safely move them into the main tank.

Looks great! Did you manage to get any pics of the palmas? Also, what size tank are you growing them out in?
 
Going to grow them out in a 3'x3'x2' tank, works out to be ~130g (3x3 footprint) , no pic's of the palmas yet when he's out in sight he's moving around way to much and as soon as he rests he disappears under the driftwood.
