Smaller pikes more rare?

[florencejr11]

Redoing my 180 and I've been looking for a pike that maxes out around 10. I saw a thread on here that posted all the smaller species of pikes and unfortunately I can't find any on the web. Is there anybody out there that specializes in Pikes and can help me get what I need. No specific pike in particular just one that stays around 7-10"
All I can I find are black stripe pikes, red, and xingu .

Something in the saxatalis group should be fine. There should be some sveni around. Should work close enough for the size you need.

Agree
I kept a few of the saxatlis types from Uruguay, that seemed to max out in that desired size range.

There are about 24 species in the genus Saxatilia.
Below a Uruguayan cichlid community tank, with the above pikes, Australoheros, and Gymnogeophagus.

Here is a photo of my “belly crawler” Pike Cichlid. I have had him more than 3 years in a 68G aquarium and he is thriving with his pals. He seems to have maxed out in size at 10-11 inches. Great fish with a lot of personality.

Petcos sometimes carries “Belly Crawler” Pikes and if you still can’t find one in the store, the fish manager will probably order one for you if you ask.

I've also kept "belly crawlers", and they do well with non- torpedo shaped, yet high bodies cichlids in my 6 ft tanks.
