2-3” Pinima Peacock Bass

💎 Pinima Peacock Bass (2–3”) – Rare Golden-Barred Predator with Huge Potential

Looking for a truly unique grow-out predator to add to your monster fish lineup? The Pinima Peacock Bass (Cichla pinima) stands out with its elongated body, thick vertical gold bars, and fast growth rate—making it one of the most sought-after wild-type Cichla species in the aquarium trade.

At 2–3 inches, this juvenile Pinima is perfect for grow-out tanks, quickly adapting to frozen and pellet diets and beginning to display its signature bold barring and golden hues. This species is a true trophy fish, reaching impressive sizes and developing intense coloration as it matures.

🐟 Species Profile:

• Scientific Name: Cichla pinima

• Common Name: Pinima Peacock Bass

• Size: 2–3 inches (can grow to 24–28 inches+)

🔥 Behavior & Tank Mates:

Pinimas are powerful swimmers and require:

• Large open swimming space

• Robust filtration systems with high oxygenation

• Secure lids – they’re active jumpers

Compatible with other large, aggressive fish, including:

• Arowanas, Datnoids, Endlicheri Bichirs, Tiger Shovelnose Catfish

• Other similarly sized Cichla (with care and space)

Avoid keeping with small fish—they’ll quickly become prey. Pinimas are intelligent hunters and often interact with their environment and tank mates with confidence.
