IBFishing, congratulations on your new pond! Hopefully you will get many comments on the subject of peacock bass. This is my opinion so take it for that.
Absolutely NO on peacock bass under any circumstances. The number of problems caused by fish species inappropriately stock are huge. Everyone thinks of all the success stories such as trout and salmon spread all over the world. Everyone likes to downplay or ignore the problems. Most of us are the "fools rush in where angels fear to tread". We tend to think that we know more than all these experts and just go ahead and do things. I'm probably as guilty as anyone although I'm much more cautious as I get older.
Ask a fisheries biologist in Texas what they would think of someone introducing Peacock bass on their own.
