Peacock Bass growth rate question.

[surfer]

Right now I have 3 baby peacock bass in a 60 gallon aquarium. Two of them are about 3" and the smaller one is about 2". They have plenty of space in this tank at their present size but I'm wondering how long before I need to upsize to a larger aquarium? I've already noticed some growth in the month I've had them and can't wait to get at least a 150 gal.

with proper feeding and plenty of water changes 1"+ per month is about average

You may want to skip the 150gal entirely and go staight to something with more width. Those fish are going to get huge.

What size do you think would be more appropriate?

And how much longer do you think these guys will be ok in the 60? A guesstimate.

i find orinos to be the slowest growers. i got mine at 2" during august last year and 8" when they died last month . fed them everyother day with krill shrimp and silver sides.

What kind of pbass are they...some grow slow, some grow much faster. You should be fine for awhile, but the 150g you plan on upgrading them too, won't last for long either.

Ocellaris I think.
