Hey, anyone here has a tank of Peacock Bass? Pics would be great!! Please post them here. I just like the way they look (very cool!!!). I introduced two of them (small ones) into my 5ft by 2ft by 2ft tank, to be tankmates to my aro. Everybody's gettin' along just fine. But boy, can they eat! And they only take live feeder fish. Already blown a hole in my pocket!

how big is your PB?
they are easy to convert to pellets when young. even easier if you are converting to dead meaty food. cos they are ever so hungry...
make sure they are smaller than your aro. they eat fast and grow fast. the last time i had them, they ate so fast that my aro had no food until the PBs are done.
that is until my aro got angry and decided to do something abt it.

They are about 6" and 8". I starved the small one for a week, then I gave in and bought feeder fish. Starved the big one two weeks! I tried market prawns and superworms. They totally ignored those foods. Then I bought feeder fish, and they whacked and whacked!
you caught yours from the reservoir?
if they are caught, then it will be even harder to convert them.
i will starve for a week, and if it still doesn't take dead food, i will feed a couple of feeders, and go for another week.
of cos, you gotta judge for yourself how long your fish can last when training them.
