My LFS is selling 3-4" crenicichla pikes under the common name Gold Pike Cichlid. Are there any pikes that occasionally go by this name? It isn't a gold or yellow color at all.

I will try to get pictures on my cellphone to help ID.
 
snap a photo and we should be able to id it. im guessing it probably a sax pike.
 
It turned out to be a sveni. The LFS was keeping about six of them together and they were all considerably darker from the aggression. He colored up nicely after a day in his new home and it was easy to confirm the ID. Thanks for the help, guys.
