Peacock Bass is a large predatory freshwater fish, and is also known as the tucunare, or pavon. This species is also called the tucunare, or pavon in Spanish. Peacock bass are rare in reservoirs or lakes, despite common names. The peacock is beautiful and interesting, regardless of its origin. Here are some facts regarding the peacock.
Cichla temensis
The speckled peacock bass, also known as the painted or three-barred peacock bass, is a very large South American cichlid. It is both a prized game fish and a valuable food fish. The distinctive stripes of the speckled Pavon, often of green color, give it its name. They are native to South America but are considered protected species in most countries.
Comparisons were made between the morphometric data and the molecular data of sympatric congeners as well as the Gonadosomatic Index of C. temensis. C. temensis color pattern variation is consistent with seasonal sex maturity, rather than sexual dimorphism. However, the variation in the pattern is not indicative of sexual dimorphism. This is just a sign seasonal spawning.
Three-barred Peacock
The Three barred Peacock Bass is a highly desired sport fish. Its striking markings include a vertical band along the forehead as well as a few faint bars. These bars will fade over time, just like the peacock bass. Depending on the species, these bars may appear almost absent or very faint. A distinctive feature of the three-barred Peacock Bass, is its black eye spot rimmed by gold.
The peacock-bass, also called the butterfly peacock basse, is one the most valuable game and food fishes of South America. They can grow to one metre and thirteen kilograms in size. Despite being similar, the peacock fish is an excellent choice for freshwater aquariums in both ponds and lakes. Below are some characteristics that distinguish the Three-barred Peacock Bass.
Three-banded peacock
Three-banded peacock-bass is a long-bodied, flat-bodied fish that has spots and longitudinal lines along its sides. The light spots are most prominent during the non-spawning period of the reproductive cycle. Cichla species may have three horizontal or vertical bands made up of dark spots arranged in a cross-shaped pattern. In juveniles, the dark horizontal band may be abbreviated.
The species is a member of the Cichla family, a group of predatory freshwater gamefish. It is distinguished by its distinctive dorsal fin shape, and the small eye-like spot at the base of it caudal Fin. It has a long, straight body with a moderately high profile. The Three-banded Peacock Bass is often mistaken with its cousin, C. ocellaris. C. orinocensis, C. ocellaris were both considered the same species in early ichthyological research and publications. These species are now distinguished through morphological and genetic studies as well as ecological studies.
Speckled peacock
The large South American cichlid, the speckled peacock, is also known as the painted peacock or three-barred pavon. They are prized as both game and food fish. The name Speckled Peacock Bass comes from its colorful markings. It is important that you select the right tank for your pet. These are some tips that will help you successfully raise this fish.

How To
How to fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing means catching fish from freshwater streams, lakes and rivers. The most common types of fish caught include bass, catfish, carp, crappie, trout, sunfish, walleye, perch, pike, muskie, eel, and many others. There are several different methods used to catch these species of fish. Some popular methods include casting, trolling, jigging, spinnerbaits, flyfishing, baitcasting, and ice fishing.
Finding a good spot to catch fish is the first step in any fishing endeavor. This usually means choosing a place close to the source of your water supply. Next, you need to decide on the type of equipment that you want.
You should use live bait if you want to lure fish into eating it. Live bait includes worms, minnows, crickets, frogs, leeches, bloodworms, grasshoppers, and other small insects.
Artificial lures can also be used. They are made from plastics, woods, feathers or metals. Artificial lures can come in many different sizes. They are able to imitate aquatic prey, such as shiners, crawfish, grubs, minnows, and other animals. Because they are easy to cast, many people prefer lures. Lures are easy to set up and easy to retrieve once they hit their target.
If you do not want to use live bait or if you just want to try some new techniques then you might consider learning how to cast. Casting is one way to catch fish. It requires very little effort and no special skills.
A rod, reel, line and sinker, floatant, hooks and weights are all you need. A simple pole is enough to cast with. To cast the rod, hold it vertically above water's surface. Next, lower the rod tip so that it touches the water. The line will start to come off the reel as soon as it touches the water. You can let go of your rod when the line reaches its full length and the lure will fall into the water.
Trolling is another method of catching fish. Trolling is a technique that uses a boat to move a lure through the water.
Fishing is fun, rewarding and enjoyable. There are many ways to fish, and each type has its benefits and disadvantages. Some methods are easier than others, but they all require practice.
