Two ~16" Xingu, four 10"-16" Meta, and one unknown ~1' peacock bass in 4500 gal

Pbass are the focus of this video but can be seen plenty all throughout. Same 4500 gal.

 
Update in half a year. A video of all of our pbass:

-- 4 orino, a couple are near 2'
-- one younger orino, a 5-spot instead of 6, this one is the lone survivor from a batch of 5 orino and 5 kelberi from Wes
-- 2 azuls, 1.5'+
-- one 2' ocellaris caught by Wes himself in Suriname
-- one temensis currently at 2' (from Rapps; the other died young at about 10" for no reason known to me)
-- three kelberi ~1.5' from Rapps; have almost no spangles, don't what to make of it, too young or just no good color in the genes?

The video is mostly crappy but at times gets pretty good zoom-ins:

 
Those Lima's look awesome, what are you feeding them? I've tried to grow them out a few times and have never been able to get one past 10 inches.

You must be a sly politician by day... complimenting my limas in my pbass thread :) "I didn't say your pbass suck but I do like your lima!" haha

They take catfish pellet and cut fish all their life with me. Our thread on LSN: https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/lima-versus-elongatus-id-thread.524497/

Lmao , no sir all of your fish look good. But I must admit that I didn't watch the whole video and the first thing that struck me was the school of Limas.
 
Do you know the ph, gh, and kh of the 4500gallon tank? Just trying to figure out why my tems are growing so much slower than yours. Iv had them for 13 months and they are only at 12-13 inches. Thanks

Nothing special. pH 7.3. GH and KH are about 5-7 drops each.

Your rate doesn't sound slower than mine. Our roughly 2-year old tem would only take pellets until less than a year ago, when it started taking thawed fish. It's been growing on fish seemingly faster.

When you mentioned Kelberi in the beginning of the video if those were sold to you as Kelberi they look like possible hybrids could they be kelzuls
