These have been bought and sold on this site twice and I have seen some references by some as C. sp. 'Rio Atabapo'. Just wanted to solicit further id. Sorry about quality of the pics - best I could do. Thanks!!

Thanks, yes, but I believe they are a variant of lents...no?
 
Yup, those are the 'Rio Atabapo' variant indeed. :) I have a pair of them at the moment. Congrats. They are definitely worth keeping, especially since they are so large and appear to be getting along so well. Plus those colors are superb. Mine aren't large enough to even start showing those colors yet!

If you decide to let them go, lemme know k? :D
 
Thanks for confirm. I just picked them up and this is the second opportunity I've had to keep pikes. Shocked as to how compatible they are. When (not if) things turn ugly, I'll send you a note. Thanks again.
 
Some color starting to show....
