    It's African Tiger Fish (as cpermd noted) or Giant Piranha ...

    Kimbercolt,

    i bet that would have been an enlightening experience if you had let him lip hold that PIKE. I have seen it done, and with Walleye too....bad, bad, bad move.

    I cannot see the photo, but I can sort out some mythconceptions: Piranhas do not occur in Africa, they are exclusively South American (and now one lake in South Carolina). There are a number of species, none over about 12" in length. The tiger fish is Asian, and has an elongated mouth structure but no large teeth. There are fish called pacu http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_pacu.php related to the piranhas, but largely vegetarian that can reach 3 feet and also have large teeth.

    That fish is called a Tigerfish in the SE quadrant of Africa, like I posted above.
    Called that by both the natives and the whites.
    They hunt in big schools there.
    Like everything else there, it gets eaten if caudght.

    Cool Danny, thanks! Best Pic of the beastie I have seen. Not one of your typical aquarium fish.
