Hooksetter...they have peacocks in Florida...in the canals....and backwaters...
I fished them last year in Malaysia and they are such a burst of energy....I caught 15 of them about 7inchers and kept them in my dad's 2400 gal tank and when we would feed them minnows...the dart around with amazing speed, you almost couldnt see them but they turn corners better than a fly and always manage to get its prey...I live in Los Angeles and in chinatown this Dim Sum restaurant has a pair of them and everytime I visit they seem to have grown much bigger in a short time...But anyways out here in LA in my local pond I have seen tons of exotic fish-Oscars, 3feet long Mongrel Carp...no just kidding...but I do see these 3feet long bright orange fish swimming around...must be Koi....and then the most amazing one was I saw a 3feet long Arowana....bright silver with an eel like tail fringed with orange....it was hiding among lily pads.
