They are now being bred commercially in both Asia and their native Brazil for the trade. Adult C. melaniae are a powerful, heavy-bodied fish which display a vivid, almost uniform yellow coloration with a small horizontal broken bar of black spotting. Like all peacock bass, Xingu require very large aquariums and should only be kept by experienced hobbyists. Xingu Peacock Bass are powerful predators, and will eat any fish that can fit in their large mouths. They are best kept in small groups with similarly sized cichlids although aggression and territoriality can become an issue as they reach maturity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiet: \u003c\/b\u003eXingu is a Predator and live fish eater, so feeder fish will be required. They will also typically accept frozen foods and pellets once trained.","brand":"Real Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"10cm","offer_id":56907171594615,"sku":"FSHV-03805-10CM","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"5cm","offer_id":56907171627383,"sku":"FSHV-03805-5CM","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0537\/0386\/8610\/files\/Xingu.png?v=1773848596","url":"https:\/\/realaquatics.co.uk\/products\/xingu-peacock-bass","provider":"Real Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
