Possible rare find at AM3

[TMSB805]

I picked up 3 pikes from Batfish during AM only because i was curious as to what they actually were. After talking with some crenicichla "experts" over at MFK they've been 99.999% positively id'd as crenicichla cincta. Apparently they're hard to come by. I haven't kept any pikes in over 10 years but i'm going to give these guys a shot. Currently have them in a 75 with 6 Andinoacara Latifrons.

I remember looking at those. Glad someone found out what they were (and glad I didnt bite the bullet and assume they were a dwarf pike)!!!

Josh, you have had them listed before havent you? I thought about getting some off some ones list.

Either way, nice score zach. Good looking pike. Good luck

They say they get up to 18"+.

Josh if you have more or can get more in let me know and i'll send the guys from MFK your way.

I should have known that you grabbed them! I was gonna snag them myself. Went back and they were gone. Nice pickup.

They came in as "Dwarf Green Pike," and after looking at them, it was pretty clear that, while two out of three ain't bad, they were not dwarf! I got in touch with the wholesaler trying to figure out where they came from, and found out that they had three more.... Once they're out of quarantine, I"ll put them on the list.
