My peacock bass (monoculus) has only just started to grow at his predicted pace (he's 8cm now thought i bought him at 4cm) as i have increased the temp from a very low 55 to 74. He stayed a low size for about 3 months. Will this have decrease his size permanently? Also the heater that came with his 100 u.s gallon tank doesn't make the water temp go any higher than 74 when I put the dial to 90. Ideally I would like it at 84. What can I do????? any help on both topics would be great

Buy another heater and put an airstone in there to keep oxygen levels up, u said he was in a tank at 55?? Wow yeah 80 is low I have my younger pbass closer to 87 or 88
buy a larger heater and crank it up with large tanks that like i find have 2 heaters heats the water more uniformly and a lot quicker than with just one as for temp everyone as their own ideal temp but i keep my tanks at 80-82F but then again i live in hawaii so its almost always fairly warm
