Remarks: Crenicichla rosemariae are a large predatory member of the Pike family from the Xingu River. They have been known to exhibit a striking red coloration on their dorsal fin and lower half of their body, while the middle of their body displays a vibrant, spotted green coloration. It has been speculated that these colors are associated with breeding. These, as with all Pike, are extremely aggressive and need to be housed in a large aquarium due to their growth potential.
