What size tank would I need to keep a single peacock bass? Any pics of peacock bass setups? I'm just on this app in my current spare time so no comments about me being on please. I'm just curious what would be the minimum tank size for a peacock bass? I'd also like to see some pics of a peacock bass setup. I would like to maybe set up a large primarily peacock bass tank size accordingly. I love them and I love their looks. My dad is still looking into plans and ideas for the 800+ gallon build and is planning it all out.

For prevention of flaming attacks, please be clear are we talking about fully grown Cichla in tank for lifetime? Also, which Cichla species you mean?

Yes I mean fully grown peacock bass in a tank from as small as I can get them until fully grown. I'm also wondering what size tank and what is the smallest amount of this species I can have in a single tank

I'm going to go to a whim and say 300 + kind of like the same requirements as a silver arow..
 
Hmm, Cichla intermedia not too big but Cichla intermedia not cheap and not easy to find. If keep Cichla intermedia, maybe can be 4ft x 2ft x 2ft.

But if keep big Cichla like temensis, then I think need 6ft x 4ft x 2ft.
