Colorado pikeminnow are my favorite native colorado fish and have been since I learned about them years ago. My second favorite is the razorback sucker.

Indeed. They appear to be every bit as adaptable as their close relatives the mudminnows in living condition anyways. Breeding cycle I'm not too sure about - the gov't tried to introduce them into Ontario and the population never held. I wish it did - I'd just make a trip up north and catch them myself! I'm sure that with enough $$ and the right connection you could potentially get a hold of one legally (ie. someone will make an exception), I just haven't made that connection as of yet
Aspius vorax is even cooler looking than A. aspius IMO.

Oh yes, what a spectacular fish! A.vorax is even rarer, though.
I can't believe I have never heard of this fish, I would buy one in a heartbeat.
