Pretty sure Mt. Pike has some and I believe Turtle_Slayer
 
I've had at least 20 in the last year. Sold most of them. Currently have two pair. I've sold them to: Mt Pike (John) has a Pair, a friend of his in Colorado has 2 pairs, sold Turtle Slayer 3, but his self distructed, Cichlid Speaker (David) in NC has two pair. I sold the rest here and there. A few people just bought one (that makes no sense to me). My 4 are housed with two pair of minuano. So far so good, easy fish to keep, tolerate any type water, eat pellets. My largest is 8" Ken
 
Ken and these guys know more about keeping them than me, but I can post pictures of my juvies...

They are rare, its for reproductive purposes like most new Cichlids brought in.

But I thought pike don't reproduce in captivity...don't know for sure. Sorry, I'm a pike amateur.
 
Pike breeding is still, overall, rare but the genus is slowly being cracked.

it depends on the group they are from. The lugubris pikes are the ones I've read are really tough to breed.
