The peacock bass arrived healthy and active. It has been in my tank for two weeks and shows strong interest in moving around. The water conditions are stable and it seems to adapt well to the environment. A great addition to a freshwater setup.

The fish is lively and active. It has been feeding well and seems to be adjusting to the tank conditions. I noticed it moves to the edges when the water flow increases, which matches the description of its natural behavior.
