I picked this guy up at the LFS. He was labeled as Pike Cichlid. After referencing the ID thread Ièm fairly sure he is a sp. Venezuala.

I really like this guy. He is a pig and will eat feeders untill his belly is stuffed. Even with a full belly he will grab another feeder and hold it until he can pass the two already in his gut.

I hope he grows ar a decent rate as I don;t want my monos to eat him.

At that size I would not discount the possibility that it may be a Cr. johanna. Don't worry about growth rate, most pikes grow very fast as juveniles. Anyway, nice pickup!
 
He has grown in the two weeks I've had him and his black strip has dissapeared. I'll try nad post a new pic tommorow
 
Looks like a johanna to me It will get around 12''-14''

an Adult johanna could go with medium size Pbass but might get eaten by adult pbass so if you plan on keeping it with pbass i would get a bigger pike
 
that deffinately looks like a venn. and venns, get bigger than 12-14". more like 18-24"
 
I agree that it looks like the vens in the ID thread. I'll take some more pics and post.
 
Nice pick up
