Some p-bass questions

[meluvmeosky]

I was wondering what the min. tank size is for an ocellaris? Also what a realastic max. size and would fish 8-10 inches be lunch?

 

[haynchinook334]

minimal tank size, for life is, 8'x3'x2'....

most likely fish 8'' to 10'' would be lunch for a full grown Ocell.

What would be the smallest type of p-bass then?

 

[Sandman334]

Intrems, mono's, ocell's/orino', azul's, tem's...i think

the smallest cichla is a intermedia the second smallest are monoculus, ocellaris, kelberis, orinos, nigromaculata... the rest get larger. realistically occelaris will reach 24+ inch in an aquarium over time.. a 240g for one fish or two cichla with proper filtration and water changes is fine. a 300 gallon with some more with is even better.. 8-10 inch fish are snacks, sorry

with b00st, nothing more to add here, so go get that cichla

yup...he pretty much got it covered.
but btw,finding an intermedia is going to be VERY hard.
and it only gets about 4 inches smaller than ocells and monos.
IMO not much difference.

agreed. and monos, kelberi, and orinos have more color
