#5625, "RE: Baby Bass"
In response to In response to 19


  

          

I got them at a local aquarium shop in early spring (I guess that's the only time when you can get them). Check with a few local shops and keep checking at the beginning of the year.

They are called "Peacock Bass" and "Oscillarus Cichlids" - not "Peacock Cichlids" as that is a different fish.

You need to pay more attention to the tank than with the largemouths. Water changes once a month are mandatory and use all those "fishy drugs" that you're supposed to (Nov-Aqua, Aquari-sol, etc.). They don't seem to be as tolerant to crappy water like LMs.

So far the Peacock is pretty cool but he's definetely less aggressive than the largemouth. The largemouth would great you at the glass when you walked up, attack anything you threw in the water or even at the tank. The peacock seems to know he is the only preditor in the tank and waits for the food to come to him.

The peacock looks better but I like the personality of the largemouths I've had in the past better. Maybe the PC will get better with age.

Of course then there's the legal factor.
