finally settling in

[HiImSean]

my pike has been in the tank for 2 weeks now. at first he wouldnt eat anything but bloodworms, now he'll eat floating pellets, FD shrimp/krill, and frozen krill. he eats like a pig. he's showing alot of yellow and some red in the tail. at first i thought he was a sveni but now seeing peoples pics of frenata he looks an awful lot like one. ive been able to get some good pics too. what do you experts think?

Very nice! I bought one that looks a lot like yours less than a week ago.

I'd still lean towards sveni at this point ... they tend to still show the midlateral line when not stressed, where frentas fade into the blotches. Also sveni has the more defined stripe extending into the tail and caudal occellus.

he doesn't seemed stressed in the tank and he has the midlateral line most the time but as you can see in the last pic its fades from time to time
