That's a shame... Here read the actual paper which has 2 live specimens as well as a holotype for the species. http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2010/f/zt02537p046.pdf

Purchase? Probably never unless you or someone you knew went down there to collect some yourself. Argentinean fish are extremely hard to come by for average hobbyist.

Crenicichla hu has just been described from a single, clear water tributary of the Río Paraná, Misiones province, Argentina. Image of a live male from: Piálek, L., O. Říčan, J. Casciotta & A. Almirón. 2010. Crenicichla hu, a new species of cichlid fish (Teleostei: Cichlidae) from the Paraná basin in Misiones, Argentina. Zootaxa 2537. 33-46.

Saw this earlier this week, pretty cool looking species. Reminds me of gaucho and punctata mixed together. Quite a nice looking pike. Pity they killed the one in the picture for one of the paratypes for study.

Very Cool!

That is the closest to a blue pike that I've seen.

The dorsal on the female looks pretty trippy.
