I picked this up when out of town today. An LFS had it listed as "Emerald Pike".

Any idea on its true name? I see from other places online that emerald pike is a common name and usually is a C. saxitilis or C. Anthurus. Any truth to this?

Ill try and get pics in the tank tomorrow if needed.

Thanks for any help.

This is exactly what it looks like in the tank now, so its a johanna, correct?

That is a Saxatilis type, looks like Sveni to me

I agree it does look like that. anyone else? Heres some pics I just took . sorry for the crappy quality. Its a quarantine tank in a hard to get to spot and the pike hid a lot.

After you click the pic to make it bigger, click on the picture again to go bigger.

a little bit better pics. I looked up Saxatilis & sveni but couldnt find any pics of some as small as this (4")..but now it doesnt really look like either of those.
