Hi guys what is ur input on Pikes i just bought a RED GOLD FLAKE PIKE (CRENICICHLA LEPIDOTA) its about 8 inches long and is really cool looking fish just wondering about ur input thanks
www.geocities.com/NapaValley/5491/lepidotapage.html info about them that i can only find about them

nice looking fish

thanks i guess there a more rare pike then most but idk

this one is exactly the same as our palo or papalo. it thrives
in the river with our biya... i have to get their scientific
name and post a picture here. they grow as much as 8 inches with
a belly a always full of eggs. it is one of our best tasting fish.
i missed those days when i used to catch them with small hook

i would have to say this fish is a stalker her was stalking some fish i had in my tank today he ended up eatin a fire mouth i had and tried it with my 4 inch dovii. wrong move with the dovii, it ended up chaseing the 8 inch pike to the other end of the tank

yeah, they are good hunter... that is why they are easy to hooked
in the river bed. and yes, they are bed or bottom dweller.
but when belly is full, they sometimes float motionless on top.

I thought this is a south american Pike??? i thought u didnt live in south america.. O yea and another question what do u call them there?

Here are some pics sorry for the bad quality its with my cheap cell phone VGA camara lol
