I am in the market for a pbass. I see there are several to choose from, but what is the difference really. the only one that looks different si the tem with the broken lines going through the body and the tail, other bass seem to look similar like the the ori, mono ,etc. Who gets the biggest and why is the ori seem to be the choice of collector vs the tem.
Any help!
 
Tems grow the biggest at a max size of 3 ft and all other peacock bass grow to about 2 ft max. If your gonna get pbass I'd get a pair you'll enjoy them more.
 
I have had one a long time ago, 2in not sure what type , LFS shop bought but he did not do very well, they seem to be really timid when small, and the cichlids he was housed with were not very good with him. Now I have a 300 gallon and looking to try a larger TEM at 7in with a couple of silver arrow, a clown knife, TSN. And I am lookig for an armatus and a nice stingray of some sort.
 
I dont want to steal this thread or anything, but what would be a minimum tank size for say, a pair/trio of mono pbass?

I'm getting a 4x2x2 tank soon and was just wondering how long they might possibly be able to live in there?
I've never kept pbass before.

tems i belive get the biggest, each one has different patterns and color patterns. have you kept them b4, what size is your tank, if new to the pbass get some monos to start, they dont get very big and when they get bigger they get very nice colors of lime, green, red, and more.
here are some links
