Just picked it up at my lfs, it was in a tank of belly crawlers but i knew it was different so i snagged it, its small (2.5 maybe 3 inches)but only cost me 6 bucks. Does anyone know what ot is? Im thinking sveni or maybe lucius. Lets see what it really is! Here are pics of it in my quarantine tank

I say sveni.
 
Nice! Ive heard good things about those, especially for first time crenicichla keepers. Thats me lol. Ive been cichlids for many years but never kept the pikes. Got any basic info on them? After its quarantined im going to keep it in my 75. My 125 has too many fish that could swallow the little guy whole haha. How big do these guys get and how aggressive? I know some pikes can be brutally aggressive

I never had any problems with mine being aggressive just be careful if you put a pike or anything that looks like one in with it
