david - 2009-08-29 I have two tanks, both with native fish. In one tank I have one 2 inch peacock bass with 3 largemouth bass, 2 mayan cichlids, 1 oscar, 1 black acara, 3 bream, 3 baby blue catfish, 2 plecostamus, and 3 little bream. All my fish are small and caught by me in local lakes and canals. I feed them various pellets and minnows and shiners from my canal, which I'm very fortunate to live on. They all seem to get along pretty well although one mayan and my oscar will get a little bullyish once in awhile. It's very exciting to feed these fish and watch them eat. My second tank has 5 very small baby peacock with one very small baby largemouth, 1 mayan, 1 warmouth and 3 oscars. Once again the oscars and mayan seem a little bullyish at times but all in all they seem to do fine and are a blast to feed and watch swim around.

Nick T. - 2010-07-22 Hi David, I am very interested in buying a Peacock Bass. I live in Metairie, Louisiana and was wondering if you are willing to ship them to me.
jalen - 2009-05-15 I had a peacock and the red devil tried to eat it. The peacock got beaten by a red devil and a dovii. Tte red devil and dovii are very very aggressive.
Due to its unusual size and shape, the Peacock Cichlid is often mistaken for a bass, but don't be fooled!

Do you think it's safe to keep 11 3 foot peacock bass with 6 7 foot arapaimas in a 180 000 gallon pool/tank?
The Arapiamas will end up eating the Peacock bass, because the Arapaimas can get up to 2 meters in length.
I loooooooooooooooooooove peacock bass they have so much personality with learning the fish name from Tophero Son of Smilodon.
