Possibly. . . . but I'm thinking more along the lines of what Vinny said about Crenicichla acutirostris:
It could be possible this is the similar species that has the larger mouth that Vinny was talking about. The head just looks HUGE in comparison to all the other acutirostris I have seen.
Definitely a gorgeous fish though!

The row of orange spots along the dorsum indicated to me they may be acutes, but what the hell do I know??? Where is Seiichi when I need him??!!
Yes it is most likely acutirostris, or a very similar species. Like I said, it might be the species that Vinny was talking about that looks like acutirostris but has a larger head.
I don't know, what the hell do you know?

Did you have acutes at one point? I thought I remember seeing pix of them from you somewhere.
Yes I did, and their heads weren't nearly that elongated is what I am trying to say. This one is definitely mature though, and mine were only about 8".
I had a pair of acutes and my male was easily 12"+. Jer's right. They look very similar but the head shape, no, the mouth shape is just not quite right for an acute.

Lovely. Add this 'species' to the list of highly-sought-after-yet-unobtainable-pikes to the ever-growing list!!!
Imagine a huge tank with some pinkish percna, rosemarie, and a few of these pink-dorsal-acutes swimming around. HOT HOT HOT!!!
PS---the mouth looks a lot like that on zebrina
What is it about Crenicichla that you have a better shot at winning the lottery than ID'ing one of these guys? LOL
