First to post in the sub-forum. But yeah, I'm thinking I'm gonna go to the lfs soon and pick myself up a xingu 1. What better first pike to get than one that you see the most often. 
Xingu 1

Nice!! And the pike forum takes the lead! Haha! We are gonna dominate! Anywho, I highyl suggest gettin the ones from Rapps instead bro...seriously. They are larger, cheaper, and you only have to pay $16 for shippin. I would totally do it. The ones at the LFS are small...which is bad wit pikes. When they are below 4" they can be very sensative...I know many peeps that have killed/had their pikes die on them cuz they got them small. It can be done though.....lol...I've gotten most of my pikes around 2.5" and had no deaths yet. Bigger equals more hardy though...
. And they aren't large enough to eat your spectabile, oblongus, or other cichlids either..... His are about the right size for you!

If i buy from rapps, I'm gonna get something a wee bit more rare.

.....screw convenience...lol.
Fo shizzal. I would wait a week, after Thankgiving.....Rapps probably won't get in anything next week really, but the week after......there is potential...but you didn't hear it from me...I mean, its not like Rapps emails me and tells me things....

I went to the lfs the other day and when I took a close look at the 5" RTC they had, I noticed a tailfin sticking out of his mouth. So I looked even closer and I noticed that it just happened to be one of the 4" xingu 1 they had in stock.......I just thought I would share that.
