Hello, I picked up this 2.75" pike at petsmart. It was with a few belly crawlers. I have heard that sveni and belly crawlers come in together, but I figure that is wild stock, so I am hoping to get a possitive ID on this little guy. I did the best I could with the pics, hopefully someone can help?(PP are you out there)
Seeing the pics on the screen it looks like a sveni? I dont know?
Thanks guys

Thanks Spizz, I figured it wouldnt be anything out of the ordinary but I just wanted to make sure.
How aggressive is yours, red devilish or jack dempseyish?

More like Blood parrot-ish...lmao..He is as gentle of a fish as I have. Check my thread in the CA/SA forum on profiles...I report an interesting observation, I have made. I could be wrong on the ID...Mine never had colors like that. I am certain it is in the same family though.
 
my sveni is the boss hog of the tank..... literally hes a butch and doesnt play around i know it sounds mean but originally i got an oscar with him and hes almost beat it to death so i got more fish to spread the aggresion i now got 2 jags in with it, juvie jags all of my fish are juvies tho but still he definatly bullies the other fish but it has died down some. i think it was just cuz they were settin up territories but my oscar would just stay in ether corner of the tank and when the pike cichlid gets near him he backs away slowly cuz if he moves too fast the cichlid will slam him down. interestin behavior i think it varies from fish to fish tho

How big are each fish named, and how big is the tank?
 
the sveni is bout 3-3.5 and the jag juvies are bout 2.5-3 inch and the oscar is same size as sveni but alot bulkier(body shape) wise but bout same length their in a 55g i kno its too small to keep all of them in but i figure i can keep em for a while just to see their behaviors ya kno? im definatly keepin the sveni but prolly gunna be takin the oscar and jags back in a few months once i feel its gettin crowded but then i was gunna just have the sveni o btw i got a bumblee bee catfish that is bout 2-2.5 inchs but stands its own ground... butneways what i was gunna do is just keep the sveni in the tank and maybe breed some firemouths or sumthin idk
 
yep thats a sveni mine is pretty peacful only fish it hated was a little convict gets along fine with everyone else
