Where do peacock bass live?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The only two places where peacock bass thrive are:

Their native waters in the Amazon region of South America, where you will find the larger Speckled peacock bass and the butterfly peacock bass.

In South Florida, where both the speckled and butterfly peacock bass were released as a means to control other exotic/invasive species. This experiment, managed by the authority of the Florida Fish and Wildlife commission, proved to be successful with the Butterfly peacock bass, which quickly adapted to the tropical environment of South Florida. The speckled peacock did not fare so well and eventually died out. Butterfly peacock bass are an excellent angling fish, hitting lures and shiners explosively and making line busting runs, which call for an exciting fishing experience. South Florida outfitters offer 1/2, full day and whole weekend fishing charters at a much more reasonable cost than going to South America to catch these awesome fish.

How does a smallmouth bass protect itself?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sunfish,I assume you mean rock bass ,pumpkinseed,bluegill,ect,more than likely protect themselves,as a first measure,by hiding and getting out of the way of bigger fish fast.Second, it seems to me all sunfish have pretty sharp spines the stick out of their dorsal fins,and there always pointing back,away from the head.This would seem to me that bigger fish that try to chase the sunfish,to swallow it from behind,get stuck in the mouth with those sharp spines.I once caught a nice calico (aka rock bass) on a minnow jig,and I stuck myself pretty good on back fin while taking it off the hook,it drew blood!

Depends on what you are after, species wise. In a river, look for large rocks or debris that slow the current down. Fish often hide in these eddys to ambush prey. In a lake, look for weedbeds , laydowns, or stumps, rocky points. In the ocean, surf fishing is simple enough, look for sandbars or jetties, anything that may provide structure for gamefish.

What is the life span of a peacock?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The average lifespan of a peafowl (peacock) in the wild is an average of 15 years.
The average lifespan of a peafowl (peacock) in captivity, if cared for really well, is about 20 to 23 years.

In captivity they have access to healthcare by the means of vets, healthily balanced food and they are protected from predators, which is why they typically live a little longer in captivity.

What is The diet of a bass fish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Larger bass often eat smaller bass. A small bass of has a 10% chance of growing into an adult because of this. Bass eat no plant matter whatsoever, and are strictly carnivorous. They also eat other fish such as herring, shad and alewives. Some biologists help bass eat well and grow bigger (so they have a higher survival rate) by keeping then in lakes stocked with the kinds of fish they eat, some of which are listed above.

How big does a striped bass have to be to keep it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I assume you mean freshwater species, so, here you go.

Most states have a 14 inch minimum for largemouth, 12 for smallmouth and spotted bass. The above are actually just big sunfish.

For true basses, the striped bass has a 16 inch minimum.

The yellow and white basses have no minimum size in most areas.

As always, however, catch and release ensures plenty of sport for future generations, so let them go after catching them.

How big does a largemouth bass get?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I believe you would find that it depends on the body of water and the part of the country. In Texas, for example, depending on its length (naturally) a largemouth bass 10 in long would weigh about .48 lb. A fish 29 in long would weigh about 17.5 lb. Therefore, according to charts, the "average" fish of 19.5 in would weigh about 4.31 lb. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It depends on how much food it has eaten.
