hi, i was hoping someone could help me out with some id on these dwarfs.. bought as crenicichla geayii but i do not think they look much like them, most pet-stores around here know about the guppies and gold fish but not much about ciklids and other types so i was hoping u guys here on M-F could help me out a bit here, trust you guys so much more when it comes to "pike-knowlege" than my local pet-store.. ;)
I also have some "mid size" pikes im guessing maybe could be some sax`s, but again im everything but sure.. so im hoping someone can help me out here too.. they are bought as crenicichla lepidota, these guys are bigger than my dwarfs but much smaller than the lugubris pikes so im thinking maybe saxitalis or something, but again im really only guessing.. i have fallen so in love with these pikes so i buy them whenever i can find them, and i now think i have 5 or 6 different pikes, but im really bad at id'ing these buggers so i hope you guys or girls can help me out a bit here :)
 
The dwarves look like a regani race, though can't pinpoint which one ... unless I'm missing the red around the single spot in the female's dorsal. Regani should be the only one ringed in white.

Can't help with the midsized one though.
 
The dwarfs are either Regani or Notophtalmus not sure

Out of the 3 " mid " size pikes i see in Pic 3 i can't tell the first pike on the left is it looks like a sveni the middle pike looks like a lepidota and the other pike is a bellycrawler
 
sveni and bellycrawler are the only ones i can pick out
