New to this site...liking it a lot. I'm into pikes the biggest I have are acutirostrus.
I think that's the largest I want to get into, but you never know.
My list of current stock is under the topic 'List Ur Cichlids'.

2 Crenicichla sp. Pacaya
5 Crenicichla nothophthalmus (1 Pair 3 males)
2 pair Crenicichla regani + 1 female
1 pair Crenicichla compressiceps
1 pair Crenicichla sp. Gaucho
4 Crenicichla wallaci
6 Crenicichla sp. Orinoco"
Dang, can someone say DWARFS?! Geez! You got almost all the dwarfs I can think of. Missin Crenicichla urosema though, need to get some of those and ur Wallacii group pike collection will be just about complete!! LoL!
Yeah, there are SEVERAL of us here that are super into pikes. I'm one of the more enthusiastic ones about them though...lol. Gotten many people to finally start recognizing and keepin these awesome fish since I joined this site. Gotta spread the love you know! I am more into the larger Lugubris pikes actually. Right now I have Crenicichla sp. 'cobra' and Crenicichla sp. 'xngu II'. I have had many many pikes in the past though. Workin as we speak on gettin some SUPER nice ones! Can't wait. Hope it works out. Glad to have yaz aboard! BTW...check my sig...lol...explains it all...;)

Glad to meet ya! I am enthusiastic about pikes for sure. Pike Lover...I used to be heavily into Apistogramma until I got a pair of Wallaci from a friend. I have been searching for urosema for years. No one is allowed in that area of Brazil where they're found. That day will come.

Pikes are my favorite (http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10305) too. But my tanks are already all crammed with discus and stuff and pikse are kinda difficult to find in Buenos Aires.

How big are your acutirostris? Any spawnings w/ the others?

The acutirostris male is about 9 inches , the female is about 7.5".
I have spawned the nothos, compressiceps, regani, sp. Pacaya, and proteus. I will soon try my hand at the acutirostris, the Orinoco and the Wallacei.
