Well, new to my tanks at least ;) Picked up some belly crawlers to go with some other columbian pikes that I have brought home. This is such an under appreciated pike, TONNES of personality! Here are a couple shots, I hope to get better ones, but, it's a start. . .

These are the only pikes that I can depend on finding in my area on a consistent basis. I thought about getting one but I don't think it will get along with my Lucius. Belly Crawlers act like they hate each other in the tank at the LFS. Granted it's a small tank though. They look nice.
 
They are scrappy, but, only with each other in my experience. I would encourage anyone to get some of these, they are non stop action! No real damage to each other either.

So you think they would be okay with similar sized pikes? I'm just really hesitant about adding another pike. I know mine isn't rare or anything but he's my first pike and I really like his personality. I'd hate for anything to happen to him.
 
Mine are with Atabapo II's and they were with Sveni when I picked them up. . . never have had a problem with them myself. You just never can tell of course.

Great, I will keep this in mind the next time I run across some Belly Crawlers or any other smaller pikes. Thanks.
