Peacock Bass and Festae together?

[Calvin Klein]

Hello all! I am just wondering if I can mix 2 inch festae with 2.5 inch peacock bass that I am growing. I would like to put them together in the same tank for a while but am not sure if this is a good or bad idea. Thoughts?

cichla would grow faster and in a few months eat the festae

I agree true red terrors grow slow

Since you said a while , it depends on the time line too. I guess you can keep them together till the Pbass is about 5 inches. But agreed to all ^^^ posts , that the pbass grows faster. Once you are ready , you can separate them.

I think you'll be fine. How big is the tank?

 

[ehh]

I'll agree with every posts above the festae becoming a snack. I've seen small bpass eat some pretty ridiculous things lol
