Peacock Bass and Dats

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
To eat off the floor...how long did that take sePPii?

Strollo--- I noticed today my small orino displaying with my small 7 inch indo.
Both were chasing each other but not snapping at each other. Its only these two fish that do it. Nothing major..

I didn't really try n get them to do it they just started doing it about a month ago.

Update: I suppose my largest dat, about 11-12" got tired of the little kel so he beat his arse earlier today lol. No nipped or torn fins and no damage and the kel has been a perfect little angel since lol

This is what usually happens if the bass is being the only bass in the tank. But, if you had more bass then tigers, you will have the opposite out come. I've done this mix on numerous accounts, always the same results. But.....odd numbers of either or fish with a even of either or fish, works perfect.

I've got a 15"-16" Bahia and a 9" broko in with a 12", 10", and a 15" indo and the bully in that mix is that 9" broko.

Great to know, appreciate bro. None of the aggression you 've seen goes past flaring and chasing? Or has it ever gotten to the banged up damaged fish point ?

I've never had a bass nor dat get any kind of damage besides missing scales. That's about it and that's because the fish was newly introduced. After a water change, all was good after that.

Zullies are beast indeed, but dats, bass, arows and rays are my thing right now.
