White spot pike?

[BigFinn]

I payed $35 for this pike. It is about 5 or six inches long. It was sold to me as a white spot pike and the women told me that is can get like 3' but I don't believe her. The crappy phone pictures do not really shot all of it's colors and "sparkles". He has blue on his fins and the top of his body and his stomach is sort of a pink color . I think it is a Crenicichla saxatilis but I am not sure. I am looking for species, and sex. And it won't eat pellets, just brine shrimp and Blood worms.

My bad. The poor pictures don't really show his colors. He has blues on his fins and on top and down towards the belly he is somewhat pink.

Unfortunatly snakeheads are illegal where I am. I have owned them before when I lived in b.c. But I think they are no longer allowed there either. I have two Venezuelan pike I think

Oh I see, Harleyboy. Mbeatrice, do you think $35 is a fair price? I know price is affected by location but generally speaking.
