Well i went back to the LFS today after wiok and told the owner that i believe the Pike i bought is a Bellycrawler,but she still insist that it is a Strigati(or however you spell it),but the kicker was when she told me she guarentees that it will grow 8-10 inches!!!I informed her that "Venz" usually reach anywhere between 12-16 inches,she told me i was nuts!!
Damn LFS is right,it is the duty to provide FULL Taxonomic information.Let me tell you somthing, i LOVE going into them and inadvertenly making them look foolish just by getting into conversations with employees Or when they sell people a Managuense and they own a 10 Gallon with no plans on upgrading tanks>
I know people will say that these sales people are only making minimuim wage and what not,but it still just doesnt seem right,by the way anybody know how big these Belly Crawlers really get???
Well at the present time my Pikes biggest enemy is my 4-line cat,they are both the same size(about 4-5 inches)the cat keeps trying to get in the cave but the Pike chases him across the tank,sometimes this goes on all nite!!(totally funny!!)
