I'm new to the pike seen. I was wondering when do the Atabopo1 turn red? Is it a breeding dress thing like some cichlids or just a adult coloring? Thanks
 
Thank you! I just picked one up plus a lent at about 7". What do you recommend feeding? The LFS said he was feeding prawns.
And a lent? Baller!! New life spectrum Thera A was the best by far for my pikes color and health. Prawns and cut fish are also good and I would recommend u mix it in its diet but NLS is by far one of the most balanced foods you can feed these guys. Their colors will fade a bit if they're fed massivores and turn a more brown and muddier noticed this in tapajos I, Tapajos II, Atabapo I and rio tapajos marmorata.

You're not off the hook man. Post pics of these boys!
