AJE Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I went by my las today and they had these super cool looking fish. I have never seen them anywhere before. Anyone have an idea what they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJE Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) They called in a "needle fish"(Translated into English)but I only found a saltwater fish when I googled it. The first one looked like some kind of pike cichlid to me but I wasn't sure Edited November 21, 2020 by AJE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual aquatics Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Definitely pike cichlid I have one that I bought under the false label of a Jaguar then people helped correct me it’s a pretty neat fish I have since learned when they get bigger they get aggressive but currently in a Africa/South American cichlid mix tank he isn’t bullying anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriendlyLoach Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Yeah, I would say they are not needle fish. I saw them in Texas, they are way more silver and there mouths are longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them in Texas, they are way more silver and there mouths are longer! That’s why I ask. This store isn’t very reliable at correctly labeling fish. They were selling vampire shrimp as bamboo shrimp, I got a pretty good deal on some vampires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
