Here are some pics. Caught in the manaus area.
It shares a tank with a smaller Crenicichla alta. They are deuling in the photo. Thankfully they have settled their differances and peacefully coexist.
Does pimafix help with worms AND wounds?

Ummm lucius????

Spots to irregular to be lucius, plus up a little too high.

Its still a young pike, but it does have the suborbital triangle coming in, plus the irregular humeral blotch, so its possible saxatilis or variant of such.

I think PimaFix is just external.

P4P,
Did you catch that one yourself?

 

[Passionate 4 pikes]

Thanks!
Yes I did catch these pikes.
Peanut power, The picture with the two pikes wrestling has two species in it the bottom is the species that i am trying to ID and the top is an alta. THEY ARE ADULTS! The alta will grow another inch or so but I am pretty sure the other one won't grow much larger. Sorry I dont have better pictures. The first pictures is a juvinile.
Thanks again i apreciate your input.

Peanut power, what does a suborbital triangle mean?

Peanut power, what does a suborbital triangle mean?

The suborbital triangle is the little black triangle underneath the eyeballs. It varies in size and shape depending on species.

Do you ever try fishing with hook and line in those ponds and small streams flowing into the Rio Negro?
