Anthony Cassani no, it was a project by FWC to deal with the Tilapia and other invasive species. Peacock Bass have successfully adapted to the area and are not considered invasive although they are non native. Some of this guy’s info is wrong.
Fun fact from a Florida boy Cichla ocellaris (peacock bass) where introduced by FWC to fight our invasive tilapia and Oscar population in the metropolitan Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area. Based from experience fishing waterways cluttered with peacocks our native species aren't affected too much by the peacocks.
@@agbuzz1853 That’s alittle unusual. Unless the feeders don’t have that much nutrition for the Peacock Bass. I’d suggest giving it frozen foods like Tilapia, Shrimp, and Scallops instead of feeders.
backlash01 If you were to put a Kelberi in a 75 that would probably be it. Just 1 Kelberi. They can get anywhere between 12 to 18 inches in size. Juvenile Kelberi would obviously be fine, but you’d have a problem once they hit 10 inches or so
KH Fishing Absolutely! Kelberi can max our at around 18 inches, but in aquariums, it’s more likely they’ll stop growing at around 12 inches. Kelberi are the smallest Peacock Bass!
Hmmm I'm about to get a 8in peacock bass its getting rehomed to us we are making a 800g to 1000g crystal clear pond although ima worried that my fish that are already above 16inches will hurt him or he will eat my little 85$ orange flowerhorn
Nice video, I have two peacock bass and there already growing out of my 55 gallon tank, I was thinking about making a pond for them. They should be fine right I know I have to get pond equipment and filters
Tofe’s Monsters It took a long time, but he kept getting exposed to pellets and was with other fish that ate pellets. Naturally he began eating them too!
DarkOG12 Fortnite pro I’d suggest against that. It would be fine for maybe a year but a Peacock Bass needs a lot of space! Check our the Kelberi Peacock Bass. They stay much smaller compared to the other species!
Depends on how big the pond is and what species of Peacock Bass you plan on keeping because they can get anywhere from 15 inches to 40 inches, depending on the species. I am also unsure if anyone has ever bred them in captivity.
Flawless yaz Ocellaris can grow up to 3 feet. A fully grown Cichla ocellaris should be in at least 300 gallons. These fish grow to be complete and absolute MONSTERS!
They actually didn't release the peacock bass and South Florida for game fishing they released the peacock bass in Florida to take over from other aggressive species like oscars and a lot of other fish there were eaten everything
The whole idea of releasing the tropical fish in South Florida was to hopefully take over the snakeheads and the oscars that are eating everything in the Everglades and all the canals leading to the Everglades in hope they thought the peacock bass would die when the water temperatures got Below 40ﾟ which sometimes in the winner the water temperature there does get that cold but with they were not aware of was that the peacock bass was gonna hide inside of the dreams and tunnels where the water stays warmer in the Winter time
Look I used to fish in Coral Springs all the time if you wanna catch big peacock bass and snook tarpon There is one lower that guarantees you catch all 3 those species in any of the canals it is called Rhopala crawl dad color You will catch the biggest peacock bass in Fort Lauderdale with that lower it's a Rhopala crawdadl color
this video is awesome i have a peacock bass n an oscar they are like 6 inches and they get along well thinking of getting a jack dempsey cause i saw one at the store that was decent size n ur video made me wanna get one lol. oh yea also my peacock bass is crazy aggressive i just got a black ghost knife fish and the literal second i put him in the tank my peacock bass swallowed him whole.
@@LongIslandFishGuy right now i have a 90 gallon but i'm moving my room into my attic which is much bigger and i was thinking of getting a 300. so in like a few months.

I think he can comfortably be in a 120 for a couple years at least
Γεωργιος Ο Μεγαλοπρεπης! Depending on the species MAYBE. Kelberi are the smallest Peacock Bass and should get to be only about 12 inches. The biggest specimen found was 18 inches.
i Troll The HOB? The tank was riddled with black beard algae at the time and covered the outside of the intake and plenty of other areas in the tank (as you can see)
I was thinking the same thing, Peacock Bass haven’t damaged FL’s environment either. Their introduction to FL waters is considered very successful at a national level.
This guy is actually clueless, peacock we’re brought to Florida to combat other invasive species, not by irresponsible keepers or bc fisherman killed Large mouth bass
Long Island Fish Guy as a person who fishes for these fish in my back yard, they are pretty aggressive and for sure take care of more harmful invasive species than any LMB, also seen some people make money by taking tourist fishing for them, so it was actually pretty reasonable for the ecosystem and economy.
CubanGringoLife If you continue watching the video, I literally say that they were introduced to Florida on purpose in the 1980s. I know they were introduced for more than just one reason. Peacock Bass were introduced by both the state and by aquarium keepers. We know this because the state introduced Ocellaris, but there’s been many many many more species of PBs found in Florida. Neither of us are wrong here.
you made a CARE GUIDE that doesn't mention water parameters!, water Temp! best decor, best food and all tho we can see some tank mates , you dont talk about it. you need to start taking CARE videos seriously. should have titled the Video " Tank size for peacock bass" think about it for next time, when we click on these vids its cause we want learn something not just look at a fish and here you tell a story. I hope this will help you develop your RU-vid channel into something people will look foreword to seeing instead of people saying this is just a video for the sake of making a video. They are beautiful fish :)
