can anyone give me info or a link on pbass how big of a tank best tank mates what to feed how fast they grow water parameters etc thanks
 
quick answer: large tank (180+)/ large tank mates (arowana, rays, other large cichlids)/ frozen foods (bloodworms, krill, shrimp, talapia, silversides, hotdogs hold the sauerkraut), pellets or live/ different species have different growth rates and it depends on the amount of food you give them/ water temps in the mid 80's and water change like 2x week with about 25% each time...

As for links, I have none... Hopefully others can put some up for ya
 
180 is not big enough. I have a 300 with a pbass and a terminals bass and they are going to need a bigger tank in a year or 2. The teminsis is about 24" and the peacock is about 22". If you get them when they are small they can be trained to eat pellets but if u get them bigger and they were raised on live then that's pretty much all they will eat. My peacock bass was about 18" when I got him and he was raised on goldfish, now thats all he will eat, iv even tried starving him and tried to feed him minnows and perch but he won't eat anything but goldfish.
