peacock bass.. help please?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Some stress coat is always helpful...
give him a few days to get use to his new tank.
what kind of fish are in the tank?
 
Keep temp high. 88 degrees, lots of air in the tank and add salt. No need for meds at this point.
 
i hav a 3 inch jack dempsey 2inch pacu a few feeders he didnt eat and a 3inch turtle its a 55gallon.. im getting a bigger tank in a few months hopefully.. the pbass is almost 5inches
 
A really interesting stock you got. So, the turtle is in the same tank as the Pbass?
 
yup he swims right past him and the peacock doesnt even mess with him.. and my pacu im probally going to get rid of when it gets about 8inches.. and i wana get a tiger shovelnose, pike,snakehead,geogaphus, or an oscar.. and for sure another 2 or more pbasses.. but i have a ocellaris i want an azul and speckled...yea but i should be getting 125 tank and stand +canopy and filters for 600.. and im gonna make a planted amazon looking tank
 
Its not the bass, its the turtle i'm worried about, but if it works, then go for it.Good call on the pacu. But the snakehead will be a NO GO in cali. But the other stock sounds good. For a 125gal, Orinos, intems, kelbs, would take a good while to grow out of. But a 125gal will be to small in the long run. But, yea, keep temp high, and add salt. You'll be good.
 
Snakeheads are illegal to own in USA. You cannot keep one. What species is your turtle? Generally, they will not work with fish due to predatory nature however a few species will work.
