New crenicichla

I got a couple of pikes last night, definitely in the Saxatilis family but don't know exactly, came from Guyana.

Nice pair! Definitely male-female pair. The male looks kind of like an Anthurus to me, the female looks more Alta, but they're very hard to tell apart. Very nice pikes either way!

Good looking pikes. What did they call them in the fish store tho? Star spangled pikes?

I have to get an updated atlas to hang with you guys. Have the taxonomist changed some sci names of the Crenichicla?

not anthurus or alta i dont think. the humeral spot isn't high enough.

definitely looks like a crenicichla sp. 'british guyana ii'. male is the one with more spangles and the one with less is female.

Ive only seen a couple pics of the BG IIs, thought they looked pretty similar
