I believe I have a pair a Venezuela Pike. They have been paired up since they were 3-4 inches, now they are about 9 inches and I think they are beginning to breed. I noticed a change in color and one has tanken to digging up the fine rock I have as my substrate with his mouth, he/she has cleared out a 5 in. x 5in. area. If anyone has any info let me know.
Breeding Venezuela Pike

If they are ven's they sound too small to be breeding, but i could be wrong. Post some picks of your fish.
Please post pictures, I am thinking they are one of the Boullengerellas, either latistriaga or maculatus, the striped only get to slightly over 10" and the spotted to 13", both are caught in Venezuela, either could breed at 9"if they follow the pattern for others of the larger characins. I hope you are right, keep an eye on them and get pictures and notes as neither type have been recorded spawning in aquaria. Please record temp. ph. food, etc. here are pics of the ones I am thinking of.
Thanks for the repsonses guys, but my comp stalls out everytime I try to upload pics here. Guppie my pikes are much different then those you posted pics of they are true Vens. , but thanks for the idea. I guess I just have to wait and see what happens. I'll keep you guys informed if it's good news.
