Really looks like Crenicichla cincta. Very nice. Its not showing its characteristic verticle bars...if you could get a picture of it when it has the vertical bands more visible, could also tell you where it came from..... There are three main color groups, the blue, the green and the red.... I think you've got the green though. Congrats bro! BTW...its not done growing yet either..still got about 8" at least to go...

the verticle bars in the pic always look like that...never any darker, rarely any lighter. This pike was purchased as a "red pike" from the LFS buy a friend as a gift in June of this year. The LFS was selling it for $14.99.

I definately agree; it looks like a cincta.
