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.
