The Peacock Bass is a vibrant freshwater fish native to the rivers and lakes of South America, particularly in the Amazon Basin. Known for its striking colors, it features bright yellow and green scales with distinctive black spots. This species is popular among anglers due to its aggressive behavior and strong fighting ability when hooked. Peacock Bass can grow up to 30 inches long and weigh over 10 pounds. They primarily feed on smaller fish and invertebrates, making them effective predators in their habitat. Conservation efforts are important to maintain their populations, as they are threatened by habitat loss and overfishing.
