I just picked up a gorgeous pike. Its still acclimating but ill have high quality pics up as soon as it gets in the tank. Dont know what species it is but it is spectacular. Its about 12 inches long. Stoked!
 
The tail and anal fins are deep red, the body is like a dark bronze with olive green, with like 5 or 6 vertical black bars. Black spot on the tail. The chin is solid white and the entire head is covered in deep red spangles. Pectoral fins are white with red striping.
 
Ok here he is, check him out. Hes a little beat up and stressed from the move but when he settles in hes gonna be amazing.

Thanks Bruce! Hes in with the cichla, hope he can hold his own lol. Hes the longest fish in the tank so maybe they wont mess with him too much. Cant wait for the 350g to get here, its allready 2 weeks late :irked:
