Yep. They're one of the rarer/harder to find crenicichla out there. They're one of the largest if not the largest. Lucanus reports seeing a 2 foot one while snorkeling.

They're ~5" or more now eating 1/3 pieces of cocktail shrimp now image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

Whoa! looking awesome bro. Can't wait to see if you can grow these guys to 2ft.
Thanks man. Yeah they've got the 300 to play in once they get big enough to play with the big boys. Well they'll go to a 125 then the 300. The head and body shape is probably the best thing about these guys for me. Especially the head shape is what does it for me. I really do enjoy these guys

Thanks man they look even better in person. They look small in the pics but they're just slender pikes.

U need to do another update on your A2 pikes!
How big are they? Ok I'll do an update when I get a min, I've been busy as heck lately.
