I have never seen Jonah's deal in died fish, it might be just a color "sport".

I kept some small pike over the summer to feed my RTC and they all turned that green color after being in my tank for a week. I think it has something to do with the chemicals found in the water where the pike are kept or the lack of sun light. The pike I kept in the outdoor ponds never got that color.

Whatever it is, thats a really neat looking fish!

Wow...that's different looking. I have never seen a pike that color before...personally, I think it's dyed. I hope I am proved otherwise. I don't really see a profit from dyed pike though so it would probably be pointless to do it.

That sucks if it isn't a natural color, thast an awesome color

I can assure you all that this fish is not dyed or tampered with in any way. I work closely with Jonah's and have seen lots of pics and discussions about this fish. This is simply an isolated color sport like someone had suggested before. I believe that he still has one of these fish and was trying to breed them for a time. I don't believe he has ever found them again. He has since moved from the area so he hasn't had the opportunity to look for them as much.

If that is a naturally colored fish...I want 1!

Warmer water will sometiems make a fish turn a lighter shade of its natural colour
