[aapl76]

hi!!! brudders and sistas....

just saw bought this cutie a couple of days ago....can any brudders or sistas here help me to identify whether this cutie here is a male or female. if i am not wrong, this fellow should be a male...but i just need a reconfirmation....so can any pike cichlid expert please render your assistance..... thanxs...... :)

btw, does female cobra pike has freckles/spots on their face when at a juvenile stage? what about some design on the body?

btw, does anybody has pixs of full grown male and female cobra pike?

hmmmm!!!!...is it only sub adult stage, they will have the so call freckles on their face and body...when they have reached maturity, both male and female will lose all the freckles and have a reddish hue? will the female have a more prominent colouration? thanx.

[rumblesushi]

I want the northern pike :D

[Peanut_Power]

They aren't to the subadult stage yet, that will come at about 7 to 8" long...they will start to loose the spots and splotches and start gettin silvery patterns and what not...looks really kewl. They will most definately start to get red hues...I believe both male and female become almost completey red....at least i know the female do!

[IMPULSEBUYER]

definitely a cool looking pike, seeing new fish everyday here!

[mon]
