Aquaria
Peacock bass make for great aquarium fish if you were to have a large enough aquarium. The minimum tank size for an adult of one of the smaller species would be a 125 gal and it gets larger with the larger species. They usually are seen in pet stores at the size of 2in to about 4in and usually only eats live food but once trained they will readily eat pellets or other nonliving foods. Tankmates should be other fish that are too large to swallow like arowanas, other large cichlids, larger members of the Loricariidae family, and other large fish. Filtration should have a large biological filtration and a high amount of aeration because they produce more waste and used more energy than a typical tropical fish. Feeding should be 2 to 3 times a day for young peacock bass and as they get older it should decrease to once a day feeding and then as an adult they should be feed every other day just enough to round off their stomachs. The temperature of the aquarium should range from 78°F to about 84°F because they are tropical fish from warm water.
