One of the smaller species of Pike Cichlids, the Dwarf Pike is a relatively peaceful Crenicichla found in the Rio Negro near Manaus, Brazil. A hardy and active species, they are usually found in groups in the wild and will form a distinct social hierarchy in the aquarium if given enough space. Be sure to provide plenty of cover for each fish to create and defend its own territory. Although they breed in pairs this species is optimally kept in groups of multiple males with a single or very few females, as mature females tend to be extremely aggressive towards each other and males when not kept in groups. This species will rarely bother other, larger tankmates.

One of most widely distributed members of the genus Crenicichla, the Lugubris Pike is a large-growing, hardy and aggressive species of cichlid found in almost every major river system across the Amazon region. They are found in a wide variety of habitat types and are extremely adaptable aquarium fish provided their large adult size is taken into account. As a territorial fish by nature, they require a sufficiently large aquarium with plenty of cover. Tankmates should be large and fast-moving fish that will not be intimidated by a large, aggressive Pike Cichlid.

A rarely imported member of the so-called lugubris complex of Pike Cichlids, the Strigata Pike is known from the middle Amazon and its tributaries, including the Rio Tapajos in Brazil. The much more common Venezuela Striped Pike (L. sp. ”Venezuela”) is often misidentified as L. strigata in the trade, but is in fact a distinct but related species found in waters almost 1000 miles from the native range of the Venezuelan species. A hardy, aggressive, and large growing species, it is found in fast flowing waters in the wild and require a large aquarium with moderate to strong current.

One of the most striking of all the Pike Cichlids of the genus Crenicichla, the Lenticulata or Spotted Pike is a large growing species found in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela, where it tends to inhabit soft, acidic waters. Like many large Pike Cichlids, they are territorial and can be extremely aggressive towards tankmates so any other fish in the aquarium should be chosen with care. With their large adult size and outgoing nature, they make excellent subjects for a species tank or in a suitably large display with other South American species.

A common and attractively marked species, the Venezuelan Striped Pike is often misidentified as C. strigata in the trade but in fact is an undescribed species found throughout much of the Orinoco River basin along the Colombia/Venezuela border. They are hardy and easy to wean off of live/frozen food but like most Pike Cichlids in the so-called “Lugubris Group” they grow large and are extremely territorial as adults.
