what do u feed a 5 inch peacock bass eat because i am going 2 get 2 of them and put it in my 55 gallon tank and i was wondering if u feed it with pellets,feeder guppies,or small feeder goldfish.
All of those foods would be appropriate depending on their size.
A 55 is no where near big enough for even 1 of these. They grow to 29". Realistically they’re not a suitable aquarium fish, because they get very large. 2 Adults would need several hundred gallons.

You might want to incorporate frozen or freeze dried meaty foods if you can like shrimp, krill, crickets, and perhaps small live fish like guppies. However, it is best that you either try to quarantine all new live feeder or raise your own. A well-maintained aquarium of feeder guppies breeding should provide food for your young Peacock bass as it grows. Earthworms, live black worms, blood worms and even carnivore pellets and tablets should provide a complete diet for your Peacock bass.
You should also think of getting a bigger tank if you are keeping two
