I don't think ferox are ugly at all. They are predators. Is a pike ugly because it is a predator? I don't think they are ugly. Some ferox are not great-looking, for sure, because they have been caught towards the end of their life, and are losing condition, so they can be a bit 'all head and tail'. This old dog is not great-looking...

... and neither is the fish. (Sorry, Denis!)
But a ferox caught in the prime of its life is surely as good looking a fish as any other trout...

Beauty and ugliness are in the eye of the beholder.
