With distinctive golden coloration and a much smaller adult size than other peacock bass of the genus Cichla, the Kelberi is among the most popular of these large predatory cichlids in the aquarium hobby. Originating from the rivers of Southeastern Brazil (including the Tocantins), these fish are popular food and sport fish in their native range. Like all peacock bass, Kelberis require very large aquariums and should only be kept by experienced hobbyists. Kelberi 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. Fish from the Bahia locality are especially sought after as a distinct, vividly gold and yellow strain with relatively little black pigment as adults.

A powerful and large growing predator, the Orinocensis Peacock Bass is found in parts of the Orinoco and Meta river drainages in Colombia and Venezuela. The less commonly imported population from the upper Rio Meta in Colombia is especially sought after for its vivid yellow coloration and unique patterning of yellow rosettes and spots that becomes increasingly intense as they grow . Like all peacock bass, they are a voracious fish eater by nature and newly imported fish tend to prefer live foods at first but can be weaned onto frozen and prepared foods over time. They are fast growing and can be aggressive towards tankmates, especially other cichlids. Best kept with larger, fast-moving fish. Due to their large adult size and need for large areas of open swimming space, the Orinoco Peacock Bass is suitable only for the largest custom aquariums or heated ponds.
