Need help in ID'ing this Pike Cichlid

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
There were a few pikes that came through the hobby 3-4 years ago sold as "Calmeta" pikes. Your description matches what these looked like with the exception of the red on the eyes. The Calmeta had red on their upper eyes.

These are all pics of a male. The females had the white sub dorsal stripe and bright red tips on the anal and dorsal fins.
 
Man I'd love to find those pikes again! You remember when they had those ones for sale there near Ogden? I've only seen them offered a few times, and they were always out of stock. Them and 'red cheek lugubris'.
