Biggest dwarf Creni I know, is Crenicichla Notophthalmus, max size around 6 inch.
Crenicichlas from saxatilis group grows around 8 inch, but they are pretty aggressive.
Crenicichlas from missioneira group grows around 10 inch, but I never had one.

I have a 180 - i just don't have all HUGE fish and in my experience, if they can fit it in there mouth - Pike will eat it!

hey guys, waving a hand to you all. someone happened to give me a 1.5 in, golden pike the other day, and that's only because they know me for having so many fish tanks. they said it was in the bag of feeders they buy for their tilapia. but because it looked different from the rest of the fish, they had to bring it to me, and let me keep it. I have it in my juvenile tank with small fish, as small as .5 in. but they too wide to fit in his mouth. I am so amazed with the way this little guy maneuvers around the tank, and hides between the plants and snatches the food right out of the other fish mouths, I`m seriously looking for another one. is that crazy or what. what are the most common pikes sold at shops ?

Mine 2 zebrina pikes are around 12 inch FL long. But I have small tank (115 gallon), in bigger tank they would grow few inch more.
They eat any fish up to 4 inch. 5,5 inch pleco have hard time with them. But they are peaceful towards bigger fish.
