About the Peacock Bass

Name: Peacock Bass

Max Size: Peacock Bass, scientifically known as Cichla spp., can reach impressive sizes, with some species growing up to 2 feet or more in length.

Water Parameters: Peacock Bass prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. Maintain the water temperature between 75-85Β°F and a pH range of 6.0-7.5. Adequate filtration and regular water changes are important to maintain good water quality.

Diet: Peacock Bass are carnivorous predators and have a voracious appetite. They primarily feed on live foods such as small fish, insects, crustaceans, and even smaller aquatic animals. Offer them a varied diet consisting of live or frozen foods to meet their nutritional needs.

Temperament: Peacock Bass are known for their aggressive and territorial behavior, especially during breeding and when establishing their territory. They are best kept in species-specific aquariums or with large, robust fish that can handle their aggressive tendencies. Avoid keeping them with smaller, peaceful fish.

Tank Setup: Provide a spacious aquarium with plenty of swimming space and hiding spots using rocks, caves, and driftwood. Peacock Bass appreciate a sandy or gravel substrate with areas of open space for swimming. Strong filtration and regular water changes are necessary to maintain good water quality.

Compatibility: Peacock Bass are not suitable for community aquariums due to their aggressive nature and large size. They are best kept alone or with other large, aggressive fish that can withstand their territorial behavior. Tank mates should be carefully selected to prevent conflicts and injuries.

Behavior: Peacock Bass are powerful swimmers and highly active predators. They exhibit hunting behaviors and have the ability to snatch prey with incredible speed. They are known for their striking colors and patterns, which can vary depending on the species and individual. Watching their hunting instincts and vibrant display can be a captivating experience.

Fun Fact: Peacock Bass are prized game fish known for their strength and fighting abilities. They are popular among anglers for their aggressive strikes and challenging fights. In the aquarium hobby, keeping Peacock Bass requires dedicated and experienced aquarists who can provide the appropriate setup and care for these impressive and captivating fish.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
