The peacock bass is a beautiful addition to my aquarium. It’s active and colorful, and it quickly became a focal point. I feed it bloodworms twice a week and it eats enthusiastically. The water parameters are stable, and it seems healthy after a few weeks.

Great fish with vivid colors. I had some initial concerns about its size, but it’s not aggressive and fits well in my 55-gallon tank. Feeding it brine shrimp daily keeps it active and happy.

I’ve kept this fish for over six months now. It’s very active and shows off its colors well. The tank needs good filtration and stable temperature, which I maintain carefully. It’s a rewarding species to have.
