Where do peacock bass live?

Peacocks bass (_Cichla_) are a genus of predatory South American cichlids found in the Amazon and Orinoco River basins. They are highly prized sport fish and are often sought after by anglers. Peacock bass are typically found in rivers, lakes, and flooded forests, but they can also adapt to other types of freshwater environments. They are generally found in warm, clear water with plenty of vegetation and structure, such as rocks, logs, and fallen trees. Peacock bass are carnivorous and feed on a variety of fish, insects, and small animals. They are typically active during the day and are known to be aggressive and territorial.
