Well thanks for the id guys....But i am confused as all hell. I'm lookin at all these pics online, and i cannot tell the difference between the sp. Venezuela and Xingu II!!!!!! I'm lookin at snookn's Xingu II and it looks imo EXACTLY like the one i have. Can anyone tell me the difference between the two?
Johns "Xingu II"
And my sp. Venny
Do juvie Xingu II not have spots on their face?

Johns doesn't appear to be sp. 'xingu II', in actuality its most likely true sp. 'lugubris'. Been wrong before though . . . Yours though, IS 100% different, definitely sp. 'venezuela'.
The coloration is off for one thing, the suborbital markings are different, just two different pikes. Sorry dude, you've got sp. 'venezuela'. Still a great pike though.

my pike looks the same but loades with freckles on the latteral line and its face, its about 7 inches long already and hasnt lost its spots. it was sold to me a strigata? also heard as it matures certain kinds lose there freckles?
Haha, Nah Peanut...i'm just fine having a "Venny"! Really diggin this guy, gets along great with my Cichla (so far) he swims right along with the pack! Crenicichla are just one of the few fish i haven't really researched in depth, and to me...researching, and learning about the fish i keep is just as much fun as watching em grow.Peanut_Power;4897626; said:Johns doesn't appear to be sp.
