Peacock bass!

[Fishswim]

Let's talk peacock bass! I know there are a lot of pbass owners on mfk! I'm interesting to hear some of your stories/favorite pbass species!

I've acquired a Kelberi (unknown location) but he's a stunner. Only problem, keeping one is not ideal! My favorite Pbass would have to be the Bahia Kelberi and the Rio Negro Orinos.

What kind of setup do you have for your pbass? I'm a fan of the kelberi and orinos too they seem to have the best colors. I'm just getting back into pbass and bought a baby bahia kelberi through a vendor I should be getting it today! What kind of issues have you had with keeping them?

I used to have one. My only problem was getting him off live food. I found freeze dried jumbo krill work great. I even got my payara to eat it.

There is an entire section dedicated only to Peacock Bass.
It is a subsection in Cichlids, called (Cichla/Peacock bass).
