Stephen Zawacki Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Hey guys so I have a question I just got a camentana pike cichlid, and one of the issues I’m having is there is literally no info or pictures of them, I did get some info from fish folk which I’m grateful for, but any additional would help for example, what color do they get, and also any other additional info would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Maybe this helps I don't know if this is the same species, but maybe we can get a scientific name from @Fish Folk https://tropicalfreshwaterfish.com/species/Crenicichla_notophthalmus.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Zawacki Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Here is the scientific name Cameta Pike Cichlid (Crenicichla cametana) so hope that helps I’ll take a look at the video I think tho that may be a redatabapo pike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Here are two photos that are supposed to be Crenicichla cametana… Obviously these might be manipulated before their upload. I think this species is mostly brown. Some light-colored two-part lateral “stitching” is visible, as are dark lateral body markings. If you can persuade your pike to add some foods high in carotenoids (e.g. chopped krill… adult artemia… etc.) the best colors may appear for you. Now, if you can cuff it, I’ve uploaded a Dutch scientific journal to the Forum files: As Gandalf would say, “Keep it secret! Keep it safe!” Or Kuiil… “I have spoken!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLineAquaticsSC Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 My pike was cool, until he started trying to eat 5” filament barbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Zawacki Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 So I found out I don’t have a Camentana pike I have a xingu 1 pike I guess and it’s even more rare so a win win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
