LoL!! No prob yo! Love gettin more peeps addicted to these amazing fish! I'll get to every body eventually...haha. Anywho, that IS a female, looks like a Crenicichla sp. 'belly crawler'...not sure if its a venezuelan one though, since it has more bars. Very kewl. But yeah, definately a female...lol. Notice the ocelli in the dorsal...
. Its not a Saxatilis pike either, its actually from the Reticulata group pikes, which are characterized mostly by their atrophied swimbladders...thus layin on their bellies a lot...lol.
