I've never seen them in CT... Love 'em though. Dont have a tank large enough to keep the other crenicichla...

Awesome fish, my male noto is my favorate of the 3 differant dwarf pikes I own at the moment. Deffinately worth picking up, makes a nice usual find for a planted tank as well. The do tend to be aggressive with each other though, so I wouldn't recommend 2 males unless you have a 4 ft long tank.

Alright im not 100% sure thats what they are just like them is this the only type of smaller pike cichlid? And i was going to get a male fryeri and a couple of yellow peacocks in a 90g tank and i was wondering if there are any other species of smaller pikes that could go with these guys above because i think they would a nice addition to the tank just dont want have total chaos in the tank but have a very beautiful tank.
