peacock bass and red tail payara compatibility

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
know any websites i can buy them off of?looked at snookn21 not on his list
 
ino this is the wrong thread but im trying to trade this dude my clown knife (which he really wants) for his RTCxTSC hybrid(which I really want) how would you ship fish and how expensive would it be
 
you're going to need bigger than a 55 to keep payara, let alone with pbass. im usually never the one telling people to upgrade their tanks but you're definitely going to have to once they outgrow that 55 lol.

with that said, i'm actually aiming for exactly that. im in the same situation (growout column tank). I've got a 8" tat but my pbass are way too small and they'd become food if left in the same tank. another reason I'm attempting this is that this particular payara has a shyer personality, much more than the ones I've kept in the past. he gets along fine with a 4-5 inch chalceus (and they say payara hate similar/silver fish)

one thing to keep in mind.. pbass grow +- one inch a month. red tail payaras only grow 1/2" a month (if that). Try and get pbass that are slightly smaller than your payara. Eventually, more than likely, your pbass are gonna outgrow your payara.. you'll probably have problems then. But you never know unless you try :)
 
I decided to go with a RTC if I can get one and the 55 is only until they outgrow it I'm gonna let my fish live not to killthem
