Will this work.

I am in the process of changing tanks around. I have a new peacock bass, convict, and jd in a 55g tank. I keep the water temp at 78 warm for a convict. Will they be ok for a couple months to grow together before I place them in my 125g and 300g? I have great filtration and realize if the bass doubles them in size he might eat them. The main ? Is will there be aggression toward the bass when they are this small

I had many convicts and jack dempseys together over the years. Never owned a peacock bass.

Bass may outgrow the two and possibly eat them.

Try it, it might work out for you. It's quite the bio-load though. You'll have to do keep up on your weekly water changes. All the filtration in the world won't make up for that.

 

[ehh]

if they are little and you are going to move them in a couple months then i don't think boiled is a real concern.
I've seen some small pbass take down some pretty big fish though. i would actually hope that the convict and jack dempsey are little rough with him so they don't get eaten.

Thanks! I just didn't want them stressing the bass out. Bass seem like aggressive eaters not aggressive fish
