Large mouth bass

I should stock my pond with Peacock Bass! Wonder if they would survive in La?

I'm not sure if they can withstand our Winters. That would be a question for Wildlife & Fisheries, IMO.

They may also do damage to other species, including LMB, but I'd say that would also be a question for Wildlife & Fisheries. Just like the invasive Snakeheads that hurt native populations, the Peacocks could potentially do similar damage.

Since Louisiana doesn't have them (to the best of my knowledge) I may call Florida's Wildlife & Fisheries and ask them. Although they're an invasive species (to the best of my knowledge) Florida likely knows plenty about them since they do have Peacock Bass, I believe way down in the Panhandle. I'd also be curious how good they are to eat.

They arent cheap. Even if they could survive, $30 ea for fingerlings. Nope
