Well, spill it!! Whats your favorite Crenicichla!! Also give your reasons for liking that pike above the others!! I voted for Crenicichla celidochilus. There is just something about them that makes me like them a whole bunch. Very kewl pike indeed!!
My favorite pike is the Cobra Pike. I picked this pike up a couple of weeks ago from Lynn and it arrived in about a half inch of water. I had to do some major reviving to keep this guy alive. Lynn said the color on him was great ! that is why I chose him to come to Jersey. Well I must say, after a week in his new tank, he looks great !! He is the ruler of the tank. I am looking to find some females for him, so if anyone knows of any please let me know.
 
I'm glad you are happy with him. Take care of that fish! I had a group of five, which did have two females. Unfortunately, my neighbor managed to switch off the electricity to their tank when I was out-of-town. I finally had to sell that remaining fish, so I'd stop being depressed about it everytime I looked at that tank w/ only one cobra in it.
 
You know I am going sayMarms as one, but also big fan of Lents and Cinctas. Definitely my top three in no particular order. But since I can only pic one, going with one of them that I own. MARMS
 
how about crencichla whatever i get my paws on first (red variety) :D
 
i'm very dissapointed in you to not include menezesi. but i suppose since its not on the list i'll go with notophthalmus oh wait, you left that one off too! i'll go with cobra since thats actually on there.
 
'atabapo fire'

This has got to be my favorite. I currently have 2 Juvi's. There about 4.5 to 5 inches now. They are very different, they way the move around and look at other fish kind of reminds me of a redline snakehead. They are starting to get more red on them every week so far. Nothing drastic yet though, but im sure they will soon. Anyway, I like there outgoing personalities and how they don't shy away from any fish in my tank but aren't overly aggressive either.
 
I would have to say my Lents.I had orange pikes and they were a destruction crew.I also have green dwarfs but they don't have the personality that my lents have.
 
Im likin lents at the moment. Since I got mine my cincta jonez has gone. Id like to find a cobra, but unless one ends up in my lap, Ill hold off. Plus Im having tankspace issues at the moment. I ended up hooking up my buddy with my johanna(house_64). He was at my house one day and was really digging on it, and all my pikes in general, so I gave her to him cuz I know hes gonna take real good care of her and keep her in a 240g. Im sort of converting a bunch of guys around here to pikes by giving them my extras.
