Me too and a very nice, clean one at that. They are a fun pike. Very personable. Eat like hogs. Tough as nails. Have fun with it.
yeah its wild caught and only 9.99 so i was like well if it is a lenticulata im a lucky bastard and if not its a cool pike
Whew, I was worried you payed lenticulata price for that! Very cool! It will drag you into the world of keeping pikes and not let you go!

Yikes!!
I think a belly crawler was the first pike that I ever kept. That was probably around 1990-1993. It was absolutely ferocious, and I was shocked that such a small skinny fish could dominate a tank full of robust cichlids. Then I started keeping peacock bass and my cichlid diversity went to hell.
You'll have a lot of fun with that fish for sure!!

Nothing bad came to either fish but the JD constantly picked on the belly crawler, who kept to himself alot. I guess he finally got tired of running away and just turned around and basically inhaled half of the JDs face while lip locking. Tough son of a gun that on is, but never caused any trouble.
