    Rio Travessao Peacock Bass Availability

    Are rio travessao peacock bass available in the hobby? I like them since they have a Nuchal Hump and I am into Flowerhorns, but I really don't see much about them so I don't know if they are in the hobby. Here's a pic if anyone is interested in what they look like.

    Carpintis/Texas x Jaguar line breeding ideas?

    I saw a Texas Jaguar hybrid, and I was wondering what would happen if I line bred a new hybrid. I was thinking a white/gold base with a nice blue for the Jaguar patterns would be good.

    Can I add a convict or Firemouth?

    Hello all, so I have a 55 gallon with 8 tiger barbs, 6 Odessa barbs, a rainbow shark, and a Siamese algae eater. I am wondering if it would be okay to add a convict or a Firemouth to the mix. Or would that be a total bad idea? Or are there any other cool cichlids that could work?
