Help me identify a Med size/mild temperment Pike

[Arkangel77]

I just came across and bought a Venezuelan Pike. Its like 6 inches and I am enjoying it a LOT. After doing some research I have discovered he will get Much larger and probably not be a good fit for the group in 180. I have Mammon, Severum, Black Belt, Vejia, Clown Loatche's and Lots of different Pleco's.

I have bin reading but its confusing me a lil. What I am wondering is this. Is there a Medium size Pike available that has a good temperament (low aggression) and Also is as colorful as possible? I love the Atabapo's but again, to large for me. I think I have read that the "saxatilis" might be a good choice?' I guess I am asking which one or two should I start looking into?

PS - If you got a lead on where some are currently available - That would be Great!

Thanks, Arkangel77

Any inirida I-III or Saxatilis "Guyana" are great looking and would fit the bill well if u could find any

Are they very Hard to Fine?

Inirida are frequently popping up. Check freshwater exotics they had some. Saxatilis check wetspot they get them in a few times a year usually

Yea I have a sax. Group pike who I'm assuming is done growing too much at 6-7" and it is one of the most peaceful cichlids I've ever owned, if your other fish aren't bite sized that is and he is the only Pike in his tank so that helps. Colours are a little subdued but some nice gold speckling along the lateral line.
