Aye, like i said before bro, lol, Mostly Cichlids is the bomb for pike cichlid info. They are Saxatilis pikes so they aren't gonna get as large, but still get beefy. 8 to 10" is about the common range...with the males being larger and more stocky! :D 8 is a great # to start out wit! Woot! Your doing grrreat!

Aye, see the ocelli...main thing to look for when trying to sex Saxatilis pikes is the spot/ocelli in the dorsal! Thankz N_N...:D
