Temensis peacock bass questions

Temensis are the largest species of peacock bass, the largest one ever caught was 43 inches, but most stay in the 24-30 inch range, and with that being said, a 125 is far too small for one. You'll need closer to 1000 gallons for a temensis, This is a 880 gallon temensis tank, the temensis have since been rehomed as the tank was deemed too small for them . If you want a peacock bass for your 125, then go for a kelberi, they stay around 10-14 inches, though they have hit 18 inches. Also understand this is a long-term commitment, these fish live for 20+ years.
A kelberi would be your best bet, those other species hit 20+ inches so they will have a hard time turning around, unless you plan on upgrading later on, a 125 will not work.
Well seeing as the red tail tiger shovelnose will get close to 3 times the size of the kelberi, I'd assume the bass would eventually be eaten. And your red tail tiger shovelnose hybride will outgrow a 125 too
That catfish will get a lot bigger a lot faster than an azul, but if the bass is too big to fit in the mouth of the catfish he'll be fine. And again, an azul and that hybrid are too big for a 125.
