A large, beautifully marked, and sought after species of Peacock Bass, the Diamond Cichla Temensis is found in the warm blackwater reaches of the Negro and Orinoco River basins in Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil. in its native range, it is an important food fish, and its huge adult size and predatory nature make them suitable for only huge aquariums. These fish are powerful swimmers and need ample open space in the aquarium (which should also be tightly covered, as they can easily jump). An impressive show fish for the experienced hobbyist.

 

Diet: The Diamond Temensis Peacock Bass is a Predator and live fish eater, so feeder fish will be required. They will also typically accept frozen foods and pellets once trained.
