the usual ID that is! Working on pics but just have a cam phone to work with. I don't want to startle the little guys too much so I gave up on getting a good pic this morning. Sold to me as a "White Pike". C. lepidota and C. Lucius were written on on the tag as well.

Pale in color with a dark lateral line. The humeral spot is on the line and I couldn't tell it had a spot at all until I looked closely. Belly is white. Fins are red tipped. Ringed eyespot at base of tail. Yellow-ringed black oval in the middle of the dorsal fin. The area above the lateral line is alternating bands of tan and brown. I can't see any spangling so far.

Already my one of the favs when it isn't hiding. It is obviously very intellegent. I'll get a pic up as soon as possible.
 
Yes, a pic will be needed as I don't believe Cr. lucius has a dorsal spot on it's females, nor does Cr. lepidota.
 
Worst pic ever. I'll have to wait til the GF gets off work to tell me where she hid the camera

Yeah, didn't find the other cam. That's as good a pic as I'll probably get :(
 
does it look like this?
