Favourite would be the temensis(3 bar, unspeckled) for its size and colour but between what's commonly available, it would be the monoculus for its bright green colour and black markings.
 
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.
 
Uh huh...is that why there are so many members that are successfully keepin and some even possibly breedin these fish? Perhaps you should be a little more openminded about things. There are A LOT of VERY dedicated owners out there who provide nothing but the best and most optimal of conditions for their fish. Your view point kinda annoys me to be honest." They are too aggressive, too big and too ugly to be placed in a home aquarium"....if words were edible i would ask you to eat these! Not only are these fish beautiful, most of them aren't that aggressive. Pbass are actually more laid back and non territorial compared to most other cichlids, especially when compared to cichlids their size. If I were to adopt your logic of thinkin, then I wouldn't be able to keep Red Terrors because they get to big, and are extremely aggressive...and have to be kept to a tank by themselves...thus are wasting tank space. Oscars are too large, and can be rather territorial at times. Jaguar cichlids are too big and aggressive. The list goes on and on....perhaps I am just a little bit defensive about the fish I love when someone just comes in and bashes them. I have to disagree with you though.
