I just bought a red pike cichlid from petco, after gettting it home and placing it in my tank ive observed its behavior and markings and im almost positive its a bellycrawler pike cichlid, .... Im kinda mad that they sell it as a different fish than it really is.
 
Can i take it back now and make them give me my money back?
 
I dont really want to return the fish, im just kinda pissed that they sold it as a redpik cichlid, i was looking forward to a 12" bright red pike in a couple years and now im just gonna have a little 6 inch bastid that looks like its sleeping all the time.

My belly crawlers are very active. They are much more outgoing than my Crenicichla Johannas are, which are usually what is sold as "Red Pike Cichlids".
 
Keep it! They'll make a great addition and if you're still feeling sour abt it later on buy another pike (make sure its the real one this time lol).

Btw why didn't you post this in the pike forum?
