My bud is giving two of these Jurupari's away, and i was wondering if anyone has added them to there Bass tank, and no, they won't fit in my bass's mouth as of yet

Thanks in advance.

I've never seen one before, but its a great looking fish. It will be a nice addition for a while, but you may need to rehome them in a few months when your bass put on more size.
 
You could do it, but once that bass gets big enough they will be on the menu. But its a matter of timing, when you need to remove them and put them in a different tank from the bass. but for now you're good.

yeah you can have them together no problems. I had two 6 inch peacocks with mine and he was fine I do agree with the above statement once they get bigger the juruparis will become a snack.
 
They should be okay for now.
