Was it like this (orange pike cichlid): http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_creni.php

or like this (parrot cichlid): http://www.geocities.com/parrotcichlid/main.html

or something else entirely? Do you have the scientific name?

OK, I have moved this into the cichlid discussion. Hopefully you'll get some answers here.

Nice, predatory, don't do much when they're not hunting. If they can't eat it, ignore it. That's my experience with pikes. Can be extremely aggressive to conspecifics (similar fish).
You really need the scientific name to getany real info on these, but as more and more are imported, discovered, so the naming is constantly changing
