Just obtained a butterfly peacock bass at LFS. Just wondering if anyone had been dumb enough to try to raise a fish like this.

I need suggestions on what size tank to build for it.

And once it is full grown an economical food.

Depends on the individual.

Some refuse anything but live food :(

If it accepts prepared food beefheart is good for them and cheap :thumbsup:
