Make me an offer price is good its yours.

Thank.Is there a scientific name?Ah ill go search
 
You say it looks nothing like the other one. Did you buy the other one? If so, it's more than likely not a Cr. saxitilis either but rather a Cr. sveni.

The scientific name is crenicichla sp. bellycrawler. Yer other one is probably a sveni. Bellycrawlers arent saxitillis or lugubris pikes but are from a group called reticulata. How big is that guy of yours? Ive got a couple of females that would go great with him.

Yup, the second fish is most definitely Cr. sveni. It is in the saxitilis group but not a Cr. saxitilis pike specifically. It is a male as well.
 
Sharp looking fish bro. The bcrawler looks a little haggard but still healthy.
