Strigata

[FSM]

I went to a LFS for the first time, and they had half a dozen or so pikes at about 4 inches and up. I think they were strigata; how aggressive are these, and how big do they get? What group do they belong to?

 

[Angler]

They belong to Lugubris group.

Beware though that Strigata are rare in LFS, and Venezuela Pikes are often mislabeled as Strigata.

I honestly have no clue what it was; the species wasn't labeled. It was one of the species in a fish book I have and the pics looked about the same.

I looked up a ven, it definitely could have been that.
