thanks duanes, looks like good leads! clgkag, he doesnt have a site and last inventory is may? not sure if it current but didnt see any pike anyway. thanks though
 
petkingdom (cichlid pike) away back, I also saw one more recently at petszone, that one had a name like red cichlid pike, I assumed it is this one Atabapo, but there is no stripes..so I don't know. I asked him he said it a cichlid pike, I told him there are like a lot of subspecies, he said he doesn't get them in often, they always look the same to him. i didn't like the looks of the pike he had anyway. I think I saw him posted it on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RED-PIKE-CICHLID-/181206204178?pt=Live_Fish&hash=item2a30bb3f12 anyway I think Duanes hooked me up, problem now is I want one pike from one place and another pike from another, 2 different shippings charges, and wetspottropicalfish.com wants 70.00 to ship to san diego!! its the same price shipping as the fish. wish I can get both in the same place so I don't have to pay soo much in shipping. but at least now I know the "where", just have to arrange it so i can have a few more pikes in my tank, without spending 140 on shipping!
 
did some research and apparently you can only pick one species. went with Crenicichla lenticulata "Spot Face Pike" WILD Colombia 8-9" $70.00 1 ONLY. got the last one. what do I look to tell if it is male or female, would like one day to get another for pair.
 
wow my lent came in, it a male, its thick, nice color and pretty much suck as!@#! just hides come out terrorize everyone, then get beats by my much larger oscar all the way back to his cave, then sit in cave with mouth wide open trying to defend it. i dont know about this whole pike thing, but i did ask for it.
