where do i find out about that incredible peacock bass tank?
that is the most mezmerizing, beautiful, awesome thing iv'e ever seen, when i grow up i wanna be that tank!!!!!! seriously i need to know everything about it, like love at first sight.
is that in a zoo or something? about 4 years ago i kept a peacock and a snook in a 125, but the bass had to go because 100 goldfish a week and a bottle of rid ich monthly got to be too costly.

sorry, this one must have slipped by me. The tank was a 150 that housed 2 cichla ocellaris and 1 cichla monoculus. I grew them up from about 1.5" to the large pigs you see in the pics. I ended up giving them to a local guy that owns a few very large tanks, but they ended up dying in his care. That sucked since I assumed they were going to a better home. From now on I will just need to build a pond that can house pbass for life! :D

just 3 Home Depot shoplights. They were each 4' long with 2 bulbs each. Put out about 240 watts. The bulbs were GE sunshine bulbs.
