Really sad! She is in the freezer and there are a few of us looking for a suitable taxidermist. Any that I have talked to really weren't sure about it without seeing her first. I really hope we can find someone to do her justice!
Just wanted to put an updated list up. Watch for a pretty special order of wild fish from Columbia in the comming weeks. :naughty:

As always, please feel free to send a pm or an e-mail from the website if you have any questions.
Why not? I have about 30 in a 150, C. sp. Atabapo II, C. Cincta, C. sp. Belly Crawler and C. Sveni. :D
Here is a quick shot, colors are a bit messed up because of the light, but, you get the idea. . .
Top one looks like a Johanna varaint and the second is "Atabapo II" or Ladder pike as a common name, pricing is all about what you are willing to pay. . . what is common near you may be very rare and expensive near me and vice-versa. The Atabapo II seem to be more sensitive to water quality...
New this week is a fantastic South American order. Some highlights of which are...
All three laser corydoras species
Fantastic size and condition Vampire tetras
Nice condition motoro stingrays
... A bunch of Apistogramma species in great condition
Nice condition Black and Elongated...
We are anticipating an order of wild fish this week, it is due to arrive tomorrow, Tuesday, the 29th of November. Please watch our lists at http://www.cichlaholic.com/pdf/November%2025.pdf
Second delay, order is pushed until next week now. . . still have to wait. I found out today that this is a pike that the vendor has never seen/had before.
Hey guys, have this guy available from Columbia, any ideas? Not cheap, but, look at the color on the face at about 5"!!! Should I get em in? 15 in a box will land somewhere between $75-100 each. I HAVE to decide in the next couple hours.

Could be someone trying to put a good spin on the "Malaria Pike" or C. Lacustris. I think that's one of the exciting and frustrating things about ordering pikes, you never know what is actually going to show up! :D
