PBass Tank Questions

[Kobi9019]

I am planning out all of the fish species that I would like to keep in my ~234 Gallon tank, which is why I have asked alot of questions about alot of different species. Anyways how big do Monos, Ocelleris, and Tems actually grow in the aquarium? My tank is 6'L 30"W could I keep 1 Pbass in there for life? I was planning on a Temp of 82 with a PH of about 6.6-6.8. Tankmates would be an Aro, Lima or Tigrinus Shovelnose, Bichirs, Fire Eel, maybe a stingray, and others undecided is this compatible so far? Thanks for your help

Well... When the Intermedias go down in price you should be able to keep a couple of those for life

So I can't keep a Mono or Tem in there for a while?

You could keep a mono in there for life probably, the tem is the largest growing of the common found species so it might push it but you'll have many years before then. However 6' length isn't ideal for 2-3ft fish swim length imo, so that part of the tank I don't like but the rest is probably better than what others are keeping bass in. The temp can be 82 for larger pbass but smaller ones you'll want to keep at 84-86

Watch that stock list, you'll need to figure out via growth rates when to buy what and at what size so no one ends up a meal for someone else. Also that eel will make a fine peice of spagetti for the arrow or pbass when bigger.

Yea I will probably buy like a 10-12" Fire Eel when I get a 1-3" Pbass so that the fire Eel will hopefully be near 2ft when the Pbass is 2ft. My LFS definatly has some nice Pbass in, there are some tems, and not sure if they're monos or Ocellaris or Orinoscis(Sp on both ). Thanks for your help
