yeah young sub-adult Atabapo 1 or Atabapo red. The slit under the eye and herring bone pattern are indicators of it still being young sub-adult.

Thanks for the confirmation, information on them is a little scarce, don't suppose you know if the white stripe on the fin indicates a male ?

That's a female indicator for a lot of pikes in the lugubris family.

Oh really that would be cool as I read somewhere that they get more red in colour then the males but no clue where I read that or how true it is , either way very interesting to watch grow , one of my favourite fish that I own personality wise.
