James just come to Hawaii and fish for pbass. During the summer we catch 100+ a day. On a good day they will bite a bare hook.

If you can release some of your azuls to the rivers... I will be catching azuls in few years...

Chad, what kind of Cichla do you find in the wild there?? How did they get to Hawaii ?

found some interesting info in that webpage....
quote:

"The fact that the Panama Peacock Bass variety has 4 stripes instead of the usual 3 is the principal feature, which distinguishes the Cichla Monoculus from other Peacock Bass species. "

"The cichla is not normally cannibalistic and both parents guard the eggs and young until about 4 weeks old when the oscillated spot distinguishes itself at the base of the tail. Home experiments have led to some Peacock Bass fishing tips which indicate that Panama Peacock Bass will not eat even normal forage species if an ocellus or eye like marking is painted on the tail, and that they will gobble up any smaller Peacock Bass they can fit in their mouth if the ocellus is scraped off."

" Young cichla of up to 3 pounds form moving schools of 20-100 fish foraging and feeding on whatever smaller fish or organisms they can find to satisfy their unquenchable hunger. "
