A good colorful Pike with a reasonable price

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
most of the saxatilis pikes are generally reasonably priced, nice looking, and remain small enough for a 75
 
I saw a full on red pike the other day... don't know what it was called but beautiful... you know much about them and how big they get?
 
Probably take pics to id the red pike, but I would guess it is in the lugubris group and will at least get around 12-14"
 
Crenicichla johanna are awesome pikes, get colorful, and are pretty cheap depending on the locality. :)

The red pike could be either Crenicichla sp. 'tapajos I', sp. 'tapajos II', or sp. 'atabapo I'. Those are the main three 'red' pikes available most commonly.
