what kind of fish is this?
Took my family to Hoomaluhia this weekend. My daughter was reeling in her line when this little guy chased the bait to the shoreline and hooked up. Someone said it is a Nicaraguan Cichlid, but it doesn't look like the pictures I googled. I think it looks like juvenile peacock bass. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Here's a couple pictures of a juvenile Peacock Bass

That sure looks like a baby Tuc (Peacock Bass) to me!

I think the brackish lake is too salty for Tucs but perfect for Florida Snook or Oz Barramundi.

I wonder how much salinity a pongee can handle. The Kaku in there got wiped out by some shelfish bonehead fishermen who kept every kaku he caught especially the large breed stock. Now the tilapia population is getting out of control, need more predators in there. A bunch of pongee could help.
