Yup, looks like a male bc to mwa! Awesome! Way to finally take the plunge and get one! They are awesome! You'll be tempted to see just how full you can get his belly...haha.....
Yeah I noticed my pike isn't that aggressive either but my Ctenopoma got a lil territorial with him. It's funny the pike try to figure out how far he can push it. Then the Cteno will get in his face and the pike swims right off & the pike keeps coming back trying it again. He's a cool lil fish.
