I was just trying to see if the guy knew what he was talking about and maybe get a better price :D


I can't believe I actually found one. I was like "WTF?" and very disappointed when you said Xingu I as I was sure it was a tapajos :ROFL:

I'll work on some better pics to tell if it's I or II, but I don't really care either way for $70. I figured after the bout w/ the Tex that it would be a terror, but it has been fine aside from nipping at the weeksii once.

They had 2 more pikes in another tank. One was a bellycrawler and the other I couldn't tell because it was hiding in a dark spot.

Hey, it was worth a shot to try and get it as a Xingu, considering Bderick just got an Argentea as a Texas:ROFL:

That is a great pickup! It has been a good day for ya! What place did you get it from? Could they give my pike a good home?

ya, damn his luck, lol.

yep, had a great day, today, although my wallet didn't :ROFL:

I got it from Aquatica, the same place that Brian just took some of his cichlids to. I was going to trade my tex, jag and sveni, but they said they would only do 30 or 60-day consignment on larger fish. This one was in a decent sized tank w/ a plec, 10" golfishand 3 5" red O's and I can't remember what, so it wouldn't be cramped. Since they won't do trades or credit on my fish, I am probably going to trade them in at SouthBroadwayTropicals for the loisellei they have. the more and more i think about this, though, the worse I feel about losing my jag.

Thats with flash? LOL!!! You need to get closer then, or turn on brighter lights! Zoom in some! :D
somehow, i totally missed this post. My lights are plenty bright enough. I have 2 sets of Dual 36" T5 HO lights.

When the pike and tex were lip-locking, I couldn't believe how much bigger the pike's mouth was, lol. Maybe, I will hang onto the sveni, but I don't want to get overstocked. Looks like I have anther monster in the making, too (possible venezuela)
 
That is one beautiful fish, saw it Saturday when I was there. Was think about buying it but the wife shut down that idea. Glad to see that you picked it up.

there is only one location...frederick on the SE corner of 6th & Main

they only do 30 or 60-day consignments on larger fish, but they only keep 25%, so if they sell, you should get much more than a trade-in.

they had small ones; one was a 3.5" bellycrawler and the other one I couldn't tell nor could I see it today.

I took the Texas and Sveni in today for consignment and just gave them a 3" Female JD and 3" gold gourami.
