Very nice pike mate, what sort is it? I have two Crenicichla sp "Xingu I", they are great fish.
cich1 - December 22, 2006 03:28 AM (GMT)
thanks cichlas.
i don't know man. i was thinking it was a crenicichla strigata, but i have heard they are rare in the hobby and from what i have read there may be more than one type of strigata. so who knows not me. you care to venture a guess? i know he's already developing some aggression, and he eats very well as you can see.:D i have better pics of him floating around in this forum i believe.

Nope :lol2:
I'm no pike expert mate. They change so much from juvi to adult colouration they generally show no resemblance to each other. Strigata doesn't seem like a bad guess to me though.
cich1 - December 23, 2006 12:02 AM (GMT)
yeah seems as though i'll just have to wait until he's grown out and in adult coloration to make a better guess. thanks bud i think strigata was the only one i could match him to so far.

Just been reading some stuff, have a look at Crenicichla sp Venezuela, see if that looks anything like yours.
cich1 - December 23, 2006 12:16 AM (GMT)
i'm looking at pics in aqualog south american cichlid1. yeah it does bear a resemblance to a "venezuela". and mine looks to be developing that "eye spot" at the base of it's caudal fin.
i think Glaive had made that connection awhile back but for some reason at the time i didn't think it was a real match.

Snowy - December 23, 2006 01:19 AM (GMT)
I really really really like that pike.
I agree, it is sort of developing the spot at the base of the fin
cich1 - December 23, 2006 01:35 AM (GMT)
thanks bud, the pike is an interesting fish for sure. very predatory in nature from what i have witnessed.

Your boasting!
cich1 - December 24, 2006 05:43 AM (GMT)

glaive - December 24, 2006 06:02 AM (GMT)
That last one was nice I applied a touch of photoshop magic but I'm not sure it did much.
