🤝 Recommended Tank Mates:

• Other Peacock Bass

• Arowanas

• Datnoids

• Large Catfish (e.g., Ripsaws, RTC x TSN hybrids)

• Bichirs and Monster Plecos

Avoid small or delicate tank mates—they will become food. Provide strong filtration, heavy aeration, and wide open swimming space to support their fast metabolism and rapid growth.
