It has a long body with white dots and dashes on the flanks, making it an excellent sport fish. Peacock bass are small but strong and can fight hard despite being very small. Although the peacock bass is very similar to other types of bass, it is easily distinguished by its strikingly distinctive colors.
Peacock bass can be aggressive and fight like a fish twice its weight. You should expect them to attack you and snap your fifty-pound braid if you approach them. You may notice your line snapping if your drag is not set correctly. A peacock bass can weigh up to twelve pounds and is a powerful fight. The peacock's aggressiveness can make it difficult to land the fish, so use a heavier line than you would normally.

Anglers who want to catch this mighty fish use heavy bait casting rods with braided Kevlar line to rig a jerk bait or artificial lure with hooks.

Amazonian Three Barred Peacock
The Amazonian Three Barred Peacot Bass is a stunning fish. Peacocks can grow up to twenty-to forty pounds and the largest ones can reach nearly thirty feet long. Peacocks acquire their vivid red gill plates when they spawn. Sometimes you will catch a monster with light tackle that weighs in at twenty pounds.
The coloration of this bass changes cyclically throughout the year, from speckled to a three-bar pattern, and back to speckled again for the next season. These fish can often be seen in slow rivers, lagoons or eddies. They also have the ability to eat baitfish. This coloration pattern is not a permanent one, and the fish usually remain in it until they guard their young.
