I'm from Brazil...there are at least 12 sub species and most of them w/ vibrant colors. And most of them also change color and patterns through the year. This red means they are in the mating season. This fish also take care of their offspring! It's an amazing fish!
If y’all can’t afford to go to the Amazon, just to go Miami,Fort Lauderdale or west Palm beach and they’re in every freshwater canal/lake. Super fun fish to catch
I wish I could afford the trip because peacocks are a hard fighting and beautiful. Guess I’ll have to settle for a little Miami peacock trip once a year
Still not same specie of peacock. There are dozens of different species out there. The one in the video is the temensis, only found in the Amazon. Florida has the borboleta or cichila ocelaris. Do a little research bud
@@Steve-ev6vx LMAO u clearly dont know what you're talking about 😂. Florida Peacock are Cichla ocellaris while Amazon are Cichla temensis. Both peacock but different breads
If you are in Europe, and want tropical fish, come to Italy, go to “Lago River Monsters” Not only they have peacock bass, but they have all sorts of tropical catfish, gar, arapaima Oscar and more! It is very fun to fish there, ho visit their Facebook page! Nice peacock btw #Lagorivermonsters
