Peacock Bass, Which are nicer???

[BGG]

I do not understand as to why anyone would ever want a peacock, largemouth, small mouth, gar, walleye or any kind of game fish as a pet. I do not care how big of a tank you have, unless you have a pond, putting any of these "bass" in a home aquarium is a horrible idea. They are too aggressive, too big and too ugly to be placed in a home aquarium. Plus any bass that is placed in a home aquarium, will be over stressed and will most likely die within a short period of time. Not to mention, these fish are extremely territorial so why would you want only one fish in a huge tank by itself.

I'm going to qoute Phil here: "This is what happens when they don't require IQ tests before allowing one to use a computer." And, peacocks do very well in captivity, I don't where you're drawing info from - but it's wrong. And if you're calling peacocks ugly, then it's obvious to me that you've never seen one. Now, calling gars ugly? What a despicable thing to say! I have a feeling that a good number of other MFK members will have some choice words for you as well...

A-men. I don't agree with the rest of your post, but I do generally agree with that.
