I am new to the world of peacock bass and i would really like to add a couple to my 100"x30"x30"
I allready have a number of fish in there including a large Clown Knife, fly river turtle, Datnioides pulcher and possibly a stingray or two in the near future.

Would the tank be big enough and are the fish compatable with Peacock bass.
Thanks a lot for any help!:D
 
I would say yes. Mine chase everything but only do damage to other peacocks
 
My temensis does, but my others don't. I hear Temensis aro the most aggressive pbass tho...
 
Are you sure they will be ok with my other fish! How big will they get and what is the best species to get? Also how big do fish need to be to avoid getting eaten.
Thanks everyone for the help!
 
People mix Pbass with other fish all the time. It'll be safe. As long as the fish are at least 2/3 the size of the Pbass, it should be safe. The Dat would be the one to worry about since it grows slow.

The dat is this big. Tank 30" front to back gives you an idea! About 18"
