This fish is incredibly colorful and active. I’ve had it for six months in a 120-gallon tank with proper filtration and temperature control. It’s a centerpiece of my aquarium and very easy to spot during the day. Only recommend for those with a large, well-maintained setup.

The peacock bass is beautiful and adds a lot of movement to the tank. I keep it in a well-cycled system with plenty of hiding spots. It does require regular water testing and stable conditions, but it’s worth the effort.

It’s a stunning fish, but I noticed it’s more aggressive than expected and doesn’t tolerate small tanks. I had to upgrade my tank size and improve water flow. Still, it’s a great addition to a large freshwater aquarium.
