I plan on purchasing a pair of Crenicichla Lenticulata from an importer here. The price is quite steep and the supplier says that this pike is rare and one of the most beautiful. Are they really rare? Maybe someone can post good pictures. The ones I've seen aren't that nice.

Thanks!

Softturtle, unfortunately the thread can't be accessed anymore. Maybe Peanut power can post a picture again ;)

Thanks guys!
Or just go to the pike forum and look for the FREE BEE thread.

Yeah, theyre generally rare. Retail here in the United States is about 120 plus dollars. Very beautiful fish though

Thats one of the nicest Crenicichla I have ever seen. NICE FISH
 
I have a lenticulata and it is awesome and one of the easiest to care for fish. Just have to watch because mine with the pbass doesn't like to let any1 else have any food! As they grow the colors will start to come out more! I have seen a 10" and it is the best looking cichlid I have ever seen. Will be by my friends house who has it this weekend and I will take a pic of a mature one with some radiant colors!
