Any price your willing to pay is a good deal, $6.99 is average depending on size. She will get more colorful as she grows up.
The answer is, sometimes. A male of the same species would be your best option, see if the lfs can get more. Your other option would be to find another pike of similar adult size but different markings, sveni comes to mind but of course there are many other choices. If you do add another pike, add alot of pvc and flower pots, atleast temperarily, to diffuse aggression.corey24;2057501; said:
awesome pikeThey are female Crenicichla sp. 'Xingu I'. This pic is old, the females are no longer paired up as one of the females is paired up with a large male. The other female was killed by a pair of oscars that I was housing her with, when they decided to breed. It's funny(not ha ha funny) because she was with them for several spawnings and she still ruled the tank. They must have just got fed up with her eating their fry over and over again.

Wow sorry for the loss of a great looking Pike
. Hopefully the other 2 will produce for you. I read recently that it is a good Idea to have some dithers in the tank with the pikes when they are spawning or they will turn their aggression on each other.
