i have 2 payaras,one cuda together.
if i add one p bass about the same size as them,would they all be ok together?
and i figured the pbass would wipe out the feeders in the day.
the feeders have been picking on the payaras so the missing feeders might make them happy.
and i could just feed the payaras after lights out.
wanted to put the pbass with the aro but a 20" aro will think a 4" pbass is dinner. :irked:
 
Peronally, I think the payara and cuda are a bad body shape to keep with a PBass. Pbass are not afraid to try and gulp down a fish that is not far off their own size, and long slender fish would be an easy fit IMO. The bass will grow fast too, so it is risky to say the least I think. If it were me, I wouldn't do it.
 
if its just a grow out then sure should work fine watch out thow once that p bass gets longer then your other fish be very carefull they can eat very big fish
