Cichla orinocensis, this is a smaller species of peacock bass, they grow up to 12 pounds though a 15 pounder was registered as an IGFA all tackle record and an 11.5 pounder was registered in 2016 in 16 pound class tippet by yours trully. This fish is like the bulldog of this bass, big head and lots of power.
