Red Pike Cichlid

DaytonAquariumPro · Dec 23, 2014

I tried to search breeding forum but keep getting an error message, so sorry if this is a common or already posted thread but I have a good number of red pike cichlids coming in next week and want to start breeding at least one pair. Any advise or things to do different from other cichlids? Also I was told buy the seller that Type 1 red pikes are the more extreme red of the species so thats what I ordered, is there a difference between type 1 and 2 or is this something that the seller has made up?

Getting pikes to breed a rarity I havent heard of anyone getting pikes from the lugubris group to breed and produce fry like the atabapo I you have just ordered. You need tannins in the water.

Atabapo ii are the hardest to keep and easily get HITH. They get red much later in life, more of a darker red to maroon than the atabapo i

Yea, I have not heard of anyone spawning them in the states. I have three right now at around 7 inches and two have paired off. Once they get to be about a foot I will be tweaking water parameters to see if I can encourage spawning.

I've spawned a couple of smaller Crenicichla species. Pm me if I can help you. I have a few tricks that might help you ,maybe. Been 20 years ago since I spawned them though. Thanks.

Someone has bred atapabo 1 on US. However, I don't have the name. I just know it is possible and has been done

Yea I found a guy but he's not every helpful lol. You know how people are sometimes in this hobby. Want to keep their "secrects" lol. But just knowing it's possible makes me want it more.

I've talked with a few people who had their males kill the female. I'm just making sure I have a spot where the male can't fit and female can. Like breeding dovii or umbees.

I've spawned some pikes through a egg crate divider that really helps usually
