Why do you like peacock bass????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How big will he get? Pics of the parents?
 
I have never kept Cichlas, always liked them, but I've always been caught by different projects. Had the Boulengerochromis project failed, I would most likely have filled the 400gal with Cichlas. As it stands, aggression wise, Cichlas are pups compared to the Emperors. Put 6 Emperors together and you have a recipe for destruction, but put 6 Cichlas together and you have a badass tank :).

It has been mentioned above the size, girth, attitude, different variants and what not. All I can add is that I cannot wait to get my first group ...whenever that happens.

For those not thinking I'm a hater and are wondering how big my emperors are, the answer is 20"+ male and female wild caughts.
 
Yeah Emperors are cool,I can sit in my swivel chair and rotate from my 20"emp to my young growing peacocks.

I'm sick of taking pictures of them with my point and shoot camera. I'm upgrading soon to a nice Nikon, or I'll keep bugging my wife's girlfriend to come snap some pictures. She's a pro.
 
I love Cichlas.....simply because they give love in return! :D (Well at least I think they do....)
