I dunno...female Cobras are red...completely....this one doesn't really look like a cobra pike to me. Could be. I'm still a little skeptical about it being female though....need a better picture. I've never really seen the tapajos...only seen xingu's....which is kewl. It would be good to put in some more hiding places. Hollow logs, PVC, drift wood, just things to break up the tank and terriroties. Pikes are extremely aggressive when it comes to other pikes if they aren't paired up. Luckily though, pikes go by the theory, outa sight, outa mind. So if the other pike can get away and out of sight, it generally won't be bothered. Problem with this is that the picked on pike will hide a lot...and possibly not eat.
I wish I could post pictures of my xingu I pair...they were pimp. I almost think they were actually xingu III from the way that my female looked. Anyway, they were just pimp, almost got them to breed for me a couple of times....which is awesome cuz Lugubris pikes are really hard to breed...lol. BUT I went away for a few days and my parents decided they wanted to feed some live fish to them cuz they were kewl to watch. Well, turns out the feeders had ich...by the time i got back the whole tank was overrun and there was no way for me to save them. Lost 4 fish to that...to say the least i was not happy. Large tank, low pH, soft water, and plenty of hiding places and your pike(s) will be lookin awesome!
Just a little eye candy for yaz...in a couple of weeks I will be hopefully gettin some of these bad boys, Crenicichla marmorata....been trying to get them for several years...finally my dream will come true!!
