I have some type of Pike, Ive been told hes a Crenicichla Lugubris from my lfs. Hes a pretty grumpy fish (like majority of Pike) and is currently alone in a 60g. He does not get along with fish who can fit in his mouth, he will most likely eat them (he eats feeders occasionally, mostly eats flake,bloodworms and Hikari Algae discs). Hes just shy of 9 inches. LFS told me to list him for $50 OBO or FT depending what it is.

I also have a type of Catfish who is around 23 inches. No one knows what he is, Ive been told a channel cat but who knows. Hes currently in a 125g alone. He gets along with anything however he will probably eat fish that can fit in his mouth. He was in with some larger tin foil barbs, a big pleco and a few bigger fish. He loves koi pellets, flake and blackworms. He is FREE but only to someone who has a big enough home for him. A 125 is too small for him as Im sure he will keep growing. I will only let him go to someone who will take care of him and not someone who feed him to their pigs, put him in a 90g or eat him. (yes I have gotten offers for all of those). Or if you know someone or know where I can take him feel free to let me know.

I am located near Ventura Ca. The Pike is in Camarillo, CA and the Catfish is in Thousand Oaks, CA. Id be willing to drive short distance, and willing to possibly do a trade for the Pike. Throw any resonable offer Im not set in stone. Email if questions or interests or respond here. Thanks all heres pics of them both. (forgive me for the Catfish tanks waterspots dirty looking water, I had just got him switched to the tank in the pic and he made a mess, my camera sucks which is why the pics do too) STi_ftw@yahoo.com

No problem, you shouldnt have a problem getting rid if it either, i bought mine for $130 at 5", he is now around 18" and will eventually grow into its fin and lose the stripe more like yours. Some motivation for someone to take him, here is a vid of mine, he is my favorite fish:

How gorgeous!! I wish I could keep him, but its just not fare. The fish store I work at got him when he was like 2 inches now hes MASSIVE. My bosses lost interest in him, and since they dont have many monster fish, they dont care for him. I did some re-arranging at my house but its just not a big enough tank :(

Thank you for sharing GL with yours!!
 
Ps.... If the Pike is not worth $50 someone can tell me I wont get offended, Im just going by what the lfs store me
 
Nice fish, good luck with your sale....Your pike looks really nice, I think it is a fair price....You don't see 9" pike everyday!
