Peacock Bass Help!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
pbass are not aggressive killers.
they do chase and ram other fish,but nothing too severe.
no more aggressive than a big tetra....
 
The only problem that i could see arising is mabey the introduction of some orinocensis peacock bass, they do not get that big and by no means are the fastest growers of the species but they can be VERY MEAN when it comes to chasing tank mates and harassing other fish, for instance, i have two orinos in with an oscar the oscar is 7" and the orinos are 4" the orinos are the dominate fish and mess with the oscar at times...

Monoculus would probably be your best bet. They are easier to find than some others and only seem to chase each other.


Thanks alot for the help i think they are one of the best looking PB but i only have a 100"x30"x30" tank and probably wont beable to get a bigger tank for a while will this be big enough.
 
monos shouldn't get much more than 2', so you should be good.


i would worry about the turtle, but if it's already cool with other fish, than it should be ok.

Now thats funny lol no all of my fish seem to be really soft my 19" CK my 18" dat pulcher and my 22" tigrinus wont eat my 4-8" clown loach or even tiny fish like the 2-3" torpedo barbs they lived with when i was installing the new big tank (upgrading from a 6x2x2 to an 8x2.5x2.5) so i am worried about the PB and my clowns thats the only thing really!
