Pike ID?

[shelbybmc]

Totally new to pikes but wanted one to grow up with some peacock bass. These were labeled as "Black Xingu Pike" at my lfs. Young Xingu III? My best guess via google.

Looks like juvie xingu 3. See what mrrobxc thinks.

After a bunch of googling I'm going with the Xingu 3 as well. True to say the females get the red only?

 

[kno4te]

Believe females still have the white band on the dorsal.

Agreed. Can’t wait to see it grow up

Nice mate! Are the geo's Brasiliensis? Love those guys when they hit 10"+

Thank you - they are yes! I have a rather large group BUT everything works great! They fit right in with the Cichla as well.
