I am having a little trouble deciding the last fish to put in my tank right now. The tank is 10x4 footprint, and will have 4 fish in it. An Indo pacific tarpon, a largemouth bass, a striped bass hybrid, and some kind of peacock bass. A peacock bass has been my dream fish for a while, and I want it to be the main fish in the tank. I’ve seen a lot of peacocks in captivity, and realized that none of them really exceed 24 in. I’m looking for a bass that will hit about 24-26 in, which would automatically eliminate the temensis which get 3+ ft right? But what about the Orinoco peacock bass that supposedly gets 2 ft yet I’ve never seen one over 18-20 and the Keller which should get 18 in but I’ve never seen one over 12-14 maybe 16in. So if we were to follow this pattern, temensis which should get 30ish inches in captivity should only get 24-26. Perfect. Anyone have any experience keeping cichla vv
 
Aquarium forums are not a replacement for Google, you’re posting thread after thread asking what can be accomplished with a rudimentary Google search. On the first page in this General Aquaria Discussion nearly half are your threads(9/21). I’m probably just be the old man yelling at clouds but damn do a little research before asking every single question that pops into your head.
