This is a wild crenicichla that i caught it with other ones, but this one is the greatest. Here in Ecuador they call it chuwi, but i was wondering whats the latin name of it and the info.
Your Pike could also be Cr. antharus ~ very similar to alta..... We had one for a while,
bought from Jeff Rapps. It grew into a beautiful 'show quality' male, one of the nicest Saxtillus group fish I've seen (nicer than the pacaya male we had).
