peacock bass

Took a little time off work. Cleaned the tank. Grabbed the camera. Photos taken with a zoom. Swear he knows I am taking his picture. Is this a dog or a fish? GOOD BOY LUTHER

I have a red tail catfish that is 5.5 inches and a bass that is 8 inches. Not in the same tank now but was wondering if they could be or would the bass eat the catfish? Also all the catfish does is sit on the bottom of the tank I have him in and doesn’t move. Is this normal? I know they’re known...

So just saw these two 4” arowanas at my lfs. Just wondering if i’m correct to say that this is a jardini (dark color, reddish/green sheen): and this one is a lei (light, silver green sheen): Also, are jardinis compatible to house with some peacock bass?

Some of you might know that I have a silver arowana and a peacock bass. I feed them pieces of tilapia with pellets inside. The bass is super quick and gets all the food. I tried giving the bass 3 pieces in a row and then drop one right in front of the arowana but the bass still eats it. The...

I have a small peacock bass and arowana in a tank who are very aggressive feeders. While feeding, I dropped a piece of tilapia with a pellet inside right in front of the bass. The arowana, on the other side of the tank at the time, shot over and went for the food the same time the bass did. The...

For all those MFK peacock bass lovers my Kelberi "Luther" wanted to say hello!

So I have an empty 36 gallon bow front tank rn and I wanna put a fish in there that I can grow out before tranfering it to my 250(I’m in the process of building the 250 because my 225 is currently being used for a salt setup and I don’t want to add any more fish to my 350). I want to keep these...

I got my fish back in November and was feeding him a couple “baby” feeder guppies a week to keep him alive while trying to convert him to pellets. Week after week he ignored the pellets and pounded the guppies. I finally stopped feeding him guppies about a month ago because I was seeing no...

Greetings all. Picked up 3 baby peacock bass yesterday from LFS no id on species. They are about 2.5 - 3 inches. They are in my 180 gallon tank so they have plenty of room for now. They have taken bloodworms so far will eventually go for pellet conversion. Sorry no pics as I dont have whatever...

I got my bass just over two weeks ago. I am pretty sure he is a cichla Ocellaris, but not positive yet... LFS did not know. Over the past week, he has grabbed one small piece of shrimp and one small food stick but spit them out faster then he grabbed them. I give him 3-4 little feeder guppies...

Thought this may be interesting to some. I purchased a peacock bass over the weekend and he is doing great. I added just a couple of feeders to distract the oscars of the new comer and to give the peacock some confidence. (I hardly ever give them feeders) I also warmed the water up from 75 to 80...
