Lugubris, Vitata or Cincta
- Thread starter HumanBean
- Start date
Crenicichla sp. Xingu II
Cincta get additional spangles on their tails along with the single ocellate spot, they are also a much bulkier species than your pike (even when cincta are young they are bulky).
Vittata have very distinct appearances as juveniles.
Could be a lugubris if those bars appear only when the fish are flared up, but since you assumed it was cincta, I would presume that those bars are a consistent pattern

Thanks. Yes these stripes are consistently there . Sometime when they flare a long grey horizontal stripe appears on side if the body.
Alright then my guess would be Xingu II
info and images on these guys seem to be scarce, so
After a search for X2s on the forum, I found this thread: https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/dare-you-enter-load-warning-part-ii.10316/
And photos from aqualog:
You responded really quick! I edited my previous post, you should check out that thread I linked
But the book is one of the catalogues from aqualog:
