well i tried taking the oscar and the jaguar out of the equation by moving them into my spare tank, right now i have my 2 peacock basses in my 55 gallon tank i put in about 3 tuffies and 5 guppies. the peacock i had for a couple weeks ate all the tuffies and 1 guppie. i just retested the water all levels are normal, im gonna try to break the basses shyness by keeping him in the 55 gallon tank for a couple days with my peacock i got 3 weeks ago, because atm he is just hidding behind the filter where hes been for past several hours.
and can u id my new 1 it looks like my other except he has yellow lines around his black stripes and a orangish tail. sorry that the pictures arent the greatest, was first time he came out from behind filter and had to rush to take them b4 he went bak into hiding.
nope.. to early yet..

i just got 1 last question about my peacock, rather than starting a new thread just posting here. Should i be worried about my peacock bass, because once in a while my oscar decides to chase the bass, but he can never get anywhere near close to him. The reason i am asking is because i am worried that my peacock bass might get eaten. The wierd thing is that my oscar only really does it after i feed them so idk if its just because they are fighting over who gets the fish first or not.
i wouldnt take any chances .... O's can get moody (mine does anyway) .. if it fits in his mouth and hes having a bad day ..he will eat it .... regardless of how long he's been getting along with the fish ...... he just ate ................ how big is the oscar?
there both the same size about 3 inches, well the bass might be a couple centimeters bigger its hard to get a good measurement they never stand still or face the way i need them to lol, its wierd cus they always stay with each other and there is no problem, even hide in same wood, but as soon as im done feeding them the oscar chases the bass like 3 times. right now the oscar eats tuffies, pellets and bloodworms and the bass is on tuffies and blood worms, idk if its cus majority of the tuffies get eating by the bass or what not. I put 3-5 tuffies in at a time if i feed two times a day or i put in 2-3 if i feed 3 times that day, as well as a couple pellets and some blood worms space throughout the day, and the bass usually eats more tuffies and bloodworms than the oscar because he is faster then him. so idk if its because the oscar gets mad cus the bass eats more tuffies or what not.
