These fish can also be found in parts of Singapore and Panama.<\/p>\n<p>Peacock bass are known for their ferocious fighting style and hard-hitting nature. However, these magnificent fish are enormous carnivorous predators that, if not controlled, can cause havoc with native fish species in the area. These fish are omnivores who will not hesitate to prey on one another when food becomes scarce.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I.

Although they lack the characteristic underslung jaw.<\/p>\n<p>Peacock Bass are technically not bass, they are members of the cichlid family.<\/p>\n<p>They are predators of freshwater and can grow to 20 inches in length and weigh more than 10 pounds. They will eat just about anything. They are considered to be the largest cichlid fish.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>III.
