Shall I give another clue?

Crenicichla, sveni

If this is not it, we need another clue.

Yup!!! Good job D, its missing the gene that causes the spotting above the lateral line. It took peanut power and 3 of his pike buddies over a week and 70+ pictures to properly id him. He came into petsnpals while I was working there with 2 others, as belly crawlers. When I got a hold of one of the other fish a year after it was purchased from the same 3 that had come in it was aparrent that they were sveni.
