Been looking for a site to buy some P'Bass off for a while now . Found them quite cheeply too but i am now not sure which type too go for as there is 2 types on the website to buy .

Which type you think i should go for -

Cichla temensis or Cichla ocellaris ? ? ?

These will end up in my Pond when it finished along with a Silver Awo' , Tiger Oscar and 3 Lima Ctafish .


 
Temensis grow to 3 foot and grow nice and fast. Ocellaris grow to 2 foot. It just depends what your after and how big that pond is. A couple of fully grown tems will need at least a 10x4x3.
Do you mind telling me where you found these peacock bass?
 
How many of each ?

I would like too know aswel , please .
 
I plan to get some cichla soon...i was really wanting a temensis or two but after researching, found out they are the largest of the cichla species, and my tank is only 125g so...i'm not getting one.

Good site or not ?

Pond is - 8 x 6Foot Hex' shaped and about 3/ 3.5 deep .

They don't have tems on this site, they are out of stock and will probably be like that for a long time. I bought their last 2 tems last year and about 10 months later they had 3 more in and I bought those too.
You could take a trip down to pier aquatics in wigan. They have some really nice looking little temensis for about £12.
