larger size. rapps has his at 2.5 inches
he charges 9.50 for each one
and i bet they were collected directly from the wild
with you being closer shipping is probaly less but 1 lfs got some from him and they were nice but they had the price around 16 while another shop got direct from an importer with larger ones for 11.
but anyway, im happy i got one as he/she is the most active of my fish but eats too damn much.

awesome. Yeah, that peanut_power. Because of that fool, i'm looking into adding quite a few pikes to my collection.
!! Thats right brotha! LoL! And I DO think its smarter to go through Rapps...directly yourself. Screw LFS.g'day boys.... you blokes seem to know what you're talking about....i've recently spawned crenicichla lepidota... ive been pumping the micro worms into them and they seem to be going ok, but ive heard that if you dont seperate the bigger youngins from the smaller ones , i'll end up with all males. Is this true, and should i seperate them when they are younger? i kept about 100 in a net for about 2 weeks and fed them micro worms(i dont know what you yanks call em ) and frozen baby brine shrimp, but the other 900 that where free swimming are twice the size.... the parents are still with em and looking after them. so whats the next step?..
Well, first off...no, keepin them together won't get you all males. Well, it might in a different way than you were thinkin. Males will grow faster, and faster growth rate will allow them to EAT their siblings...soooo the males may end up eatin all the females. Generally wit Crenicichla fry you seperate them according to size...as some will grow faster...and they will not hesitate to eat each other if possible. So yeah, seperate them accordin to size and you should be aight. You will want to remove them from the parents around two weeks or so...cuz soon they will start gettin aggressive towards the fry. Its good to keep them wit them though cuz then they will have good parenting skills imprinted onto them from the adults...
