Would need a better, close shot when it's not stressed out. The long distance shot suggests one of the sax type pikes, but can't tell any details from the video to narrow it down to what species.

I didn't know there different saxitilis types?? I was told he was a ringtail pike, but I didn't think he was

He's really shy hardly comes out of his cave, hopefully when I move him into a bigger tank he gets a little more confident. Anyway he has no speckling like sax I see on YouTube, he does have a lot of red on his fins. I'll keep trying to get a better picture of him

The Sax-group is by far the largest group of pike cichlids, so it doesn't really narrow it down much at all. Some have no speckling at all, some only the females, some both sexes.

Can't help with the ID, but I can say it's a great looking fish
