Description
Butterfly peacock bass (Cichla ocellaris) is a large cichlid species native to tropical American waters. A predatory species that eats other fish, it has been introduced into some warmer parts of the United States (e.g., Texas) as a recreational game fish, and also in hope it will prey upon other, smaller invasive cichlids.
