cr. anthurus - female (maybe, as it grows watch for a white line to form just under the top of the dorsal)

I thought cr. Anthurus had a very clear ocelated humeral spot?

 

[crenipterus svenagalus]

any positive i.d.? it def isnt female. its a male 100%.

I've seen examples of anthurus with clear and diffused occelated spots. I really can't say for sure. I have a pike that looks exactly like this one, so if anyone can provide a proof positive ID, I would love to know.

Just curious, what makes you so certain that it's male?

 

[crenipterus svenagalus]

every other sax creni i have ever owned (6 to date) were all females, and colored up after every water change. this guy never turns red, but all of his color intensifies.
