some new Uruguayan saxatilis pics

Wow these are much greener than the others I've seen or collected from Uruguay! How many do you have?
I have 3 females and 2 males. I'm feeding, among other things, a veggie pellet high in spirulina, called HBH soft spirulina. It is the staple I use for all my fish, and may contribute to the green color, but that's just speculation on my part.
I believe Matt or Felipe know the stream name, Ken Davis called them Cardozo, after a gaucho that road up on a horse looking for women, if I remember the story correctly.

To quote Matt (DogofWar), "The more scientific answer is that it's a pike in the saxatilis group from a small stream along Ruta 7 about 10km from Centurion, Uruguay (hamlet on the Eastern border with Brazil)."
"We called the (nameless, never collected) stream location, either Cardozo (after David Cardozo, the young gaucho in the pics below, who came to see why a bunch of people were dorking around in the stream (and probably whether any of them were female...sorry dude!) or "Estancia de la casa amarilla" ("ranch with the yellow house") for the estancia owner's beautiful yellow house."
Very pretty sax pikes!!
