No, you cannot transfer a peacock bass from one body of water to another, whether that body of water is an aquarium, a pond, or a river.

You are not allowed to do this by Florida law. But I have had many friends that have caught baby peacocks in a cast nets and but them in tanks and raised them to decent sizes and released them.
