ive decided that i really what one
and have been reading about them for a while
seen different stuff on them
ppl saying keeping them in a 125 is ok
others saying you need no less than 200 gallon set up
i no for a fact a 125 would not be big enough
and im thinking that a 200 may still not be big enough?
if any one has any advice can you please let me no
my stock will be as followed
1 oscar
1 fire eel
2 severums
and the peacock bass
i figured this would be a good enough reason to upgrade from my 135 tank haha
i was thinking somewere in 300 gallon range

the size of the tank would be in relation to the size of pbass your thinking of getting. there are a few (15) different subspecies of pbass that range in size from 18 inches to 40 inches in length. obviously the grown size of the pbass and your current stock will determine the tank size you will need

i guess im looking at a comman pb in stores
i was told they grew 30inch

a 300g could house some orinos, azul, kelberi, or nigromaculata, hard part is finding them for sale.

Yeah!!! Do It!!!

Mate these fish are stunning, this is the first port of call when i move to colombia, fishing for peacock bass

but i have also heard 200g plus, i think the smallest variety max around 15-16inches..

well pauli, did you ever get your peacock?

IDK about the threadstarter but I'm hoping to order some orinos soon.

this fish is on my wish list no dout
as soon as i get a 400 gallon or bigger cause i just dont want one
till then my fire eel is what i must be happy with which i am
