I am looking to talk to that has some experiance with peacock bass. How aggressive are they toward other fish. And what are the proper water conditions. I am very close to recieving one and I always properly research the fish I intend to raise. As well as find a place to donate a fiosh when they get to large for my tank. thaks for any information you may have.

Peacocks aren't "that agressive" until they get BIG and decide they're protecting a spawning area.

The problem with keeping them with other fish is, ANY fish that can fit in a peacocks mouth will eventually go in a peacocks mouth.


Water conditions - don't matter a whole lot as far as PH ,etc.. as long as it's kept consistant and clean.

Thanks for the info I am gonig to be recieving the peacock this thursday I believe. How big would my tank have to be to safely house a peacock bass I know my 55 is not sufficient(possible a 250 gal but I dont know). My buddy has a 75, and I am thinking I could transfer to there or possible sell or donate. Thanks for any additional info.
