peacock bass are my favorite cichlids and i am wanting to do a large tank set up for them. what would a be a good starting out tank from to adulthood? als ohow fast do
the OCCELLARIS PEACOCK BASS grow? if they are given a large enough tank do they spawn in captivity?

thanks,
john
 
They can get 24inches. I say 500 gallon tank. Grow fast when eating well. Slow when eating not so well. Overall some are pigs and some not. One I have had 3 months really no growth currently 12" other started at about 6-7 inches now 10 inches over about 4 months

what would be a good starting out grow out tank? also how many could you put in a 500 or larger without it being overstocked and crowded?

thanks,
john

i have spawned occelaries in 100g tank. I think water conditions is the key rather than tank size. Some species of animals breed in very confined spaces like cars, bathroom cubicles and such ;)
