Im not quite sure what type of pike this is, when I bought him from the LFS he was labled white spot pike.

Sorry about the pic I will try and get a better one when I get home. He is currently about 4.5''.
Looks like a lepidota from those pics.

fficial%26hs%3DK6Q%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1I was thinking lepidota myself until I looked on mostly cichlids, my best guess im thinking its an Alta, but im still not sure.
definitely looks like it could be a lepidota. possibly an undescribed saxatilis pike also.
mostly cichlids lepidota pictures seem to be very different from any other sites pictures. ive yet to see a pike labeled lepidota on another site with as much spangling as that male.

Thanks for the info. Im still trying to get some more detailed and clearer pics of the pikes distinguishing features of the dorsal and the spangaling on the body. I did find some pics of some juvie lepidota's and I see alot of similarities.

Yours looks very similar to what my male lepidota looked like at that size. Mine has all but lost that black line down the side, but has very strong spangling like yours does. I would think lepidota before anything else.
Alta wouldn't have nearly as much spangling. Possibly anthurus, but leaning towards lepidota...
