how big can a peacock bass grow? is it ok the keep with arowana?? how many spicies of PB are there??

 

[JuanTamad]

Depends on the type of Pbass.

Read the discussion between DieselMack and Bria Scott on the Florida Peacock Bass infor thread to get a better grasp of it.

Their discussion also indicates that there will soon be 15 types and the number is still growing.

what if its occelaris??

The biggest I've caught of the Florida Ocellaris is 22 inches, although I've seen bigger ones that'r probably over 24 inches. Most of my catches are around 15 inches.

From the ones that I have owned over the years, and from what I've read on the species, most of them don't get over about 24" in captivity. Maybe up to 30" if you have lots of room.

On average a mono/ocellaris will reach around 20 - 24 inches if kept in the right conditions.

There are quite a few different species of cichla, but the most common are monoculus, ocellaris and temensis.

Pbass should be just fine with an arowana as long as they are roughly the same size when introduced into their living quarters.
