Appreciate any info, pics from you.

Some beautiful P-bass I really need to start getting into the CREAM game!

Oh and Here you go :


Brazil is blessed by God, as the saying says. And what about the Brazilians who like to fish? Living in the country that has the greatest variety of freshwater fish in the world, with over 2500 species, of which at least 10% have frank potential for the practice of recreational fishing and sports, it is not difficult to reach a conclusion. Yes, we are blessed, and best of all is that this is not true only with respect to diversity. Among many fish with remarkable qualities, one group in particular has proved to be the great symbol of the sport fishery in the country. In fact, this involves at least fifteen species offi cially identified, inhabiting rivers and lakes in Brazil. We're talking, of course, our beloved peacock bass.

It's almost impossible not to surrender to his enormous appetite and brutality of their attacks, and the rapid and vigorous races interspersed with spectacular jumps and pirouettes. Peacock bass fishing is always exciting, a real show. Precisely because of its great importance in the Brazilian scene of recreational fishing, many questions loom about the biology and natural history of several species of peacock bass. The fishermen had already noticed in large and sometimes small differences between some types, but lacked the word of subject matter experts to resolve or at least reduce the doubts about it. Finally, after years of waiting, the researchers Sven Kullander, Sweden, and Efrem Ferreira of Brazil, have elucidated important issues by publishing a paper which described nine new species of peacock bass and validated one another that had been described in the nineteenth century. Added to those already described, there are at least 15 scientifically recognized species. The importance of this scientific work is enormous, identifying and pointing out relationships among the various species of peacock bass, since this type of publication is a basic premise for the realization of other biological studies.


The giant fish Cichla temensis
The peacock bass are native fish centronorte portion of the South American continent and are exclusive of those areas, except in cases of human interference. To speak of his great variety we must speak also of major river basins of South America, who hold the native forms of peacock bass. Among them, the greatest diversity is concentrated, of course, in the area of the Amazon basin, which, incidentally, also features the largest variety of species of freshwater fish in the world. The peacock bass are also found naturally in the basin of the Tocantins-Araguaia, Orinoco, and in some smaller rivers that drain the portion of the far north of the continent, such as rivers and Araguari Oiapoque (in Brazil) and Maroni rivers, Essequibo and Courantyne in Suriname and the Guianas.

Yep, A zully and a tem. I like the color on the Zully, but we can only wish someone can/will bring them in. I guess we all have to wait and see I guess. As for the Tem, I like the blue on gold-ish. I wounder if it's real.
