i went to my lfs today and saw like 20 baby peacock bass. each for 10 dollars
 
i dont have much info on them so i dont want to buy one yet. rite now i dont have a big enough tank to put him in unless i put him in a smaller tank just to grow him out.
 
ok will do. I'll probably get him during this week. Will he eat pellets?
 
What the heck!!?? I am moving to Cali. Go get THEM not HIM. Buy them all and build an indoor pond. haha. Seriously pick up 5 or something.
 
ill probably just get one since it will be my first peacock bass. I hope these fish are colorful as they grow. do u guys know if they will eat pellets.

they will most likely not eat pellets and will take some time and training to get them on pellets or any other non live food.. personally if you feel you can not keep and care for these fish, you should not buy them and do the research prior. sorry all you guys on here there are telling this dude to buy them. this is how much cichla just wind up dead.... plus you could never only get one... they need extremely good water quality if you want them to really color up and a water temp. of 86 degrees if you want them to grow up without any problems....ect do some research on the care of these guys when there fry and when you feel your ready , go out and purchase some.
