Should I go Cichla?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Peacock bass are great fish, their personalities are unmatchable in my experience, i've kept most species of rare fish and nothing has an attitude like these guys, i've gone and bought fish where people have told me their fish is a real character, vicious at feeding time all that stuff.

Push come to shove, in with the peacock bass EVERYTHING is a background fish, mine will stalk me up and down the tank knowing i could throw them food at any point, they will hand feed if i try it too.

You can't go wrong, all i would say though is what Gangster says, take your time, do your research, see what one you like, don't let anyone tell you that an Orino isn't any good because their cheap and common, don't let anyone tell you that Mono's are basic and not worth bothering with just look at some pictures, look at some video's and see which you prefer the look of and then go and get some good quality ones from a reliable source, don't buy cheap and end up with some farmy hybrids else you will always be disapointed.

Get the real deal, you'll never look back

Very well stated!
Cichla are a blast to keep! I don't think you'd regret putting a few in your tank.

Thanks for the help guys, im gonna grab some, I was thinking two Orino and two Kelberi. Would that work and what other species could I put or is it ideal to keep just Cichla only? I was thinking of also puting a shovel nose?
 
Geos are awesome with peacock bass. They filter the sand and are very beautiful.
