Pike Cichlids

[spectrum]

Recently I noticed Wharf Aquatics had these on their stocklist and I though they looked really nice and interesting. I know they're S. American but I can't seem to find a definate answer on their care requirements, one site said they're agressive another said they can be kept, 12 to a 20g tank it was also mentioned that they need live food. Has anyone kept these? Can i keep some in a 29g? I think they look awesome

these little blighters can be quite aggressive, esp for there size, what size is the 29g, id say atleast a 3ft

Ah its not quite 3ft ah well, i'm sure i'll find something to suit, basically looking for a SA Cichlid I can have in a pair or more in a 29g, i'm thinking Rams and a shoal of Cardinals or similar. I like apistos too though

yes you could do that

Pair of keyhole cichlids or tbar cichlids.....Along with 6-8 colombian tetra's....with a bristlenose plec

Ah i've already had my fair share of BN plecs tbh I can't wait to get rid of them cos they're preventing me from having any other fish. I thought Keyholes and T-Bars got a bit to big for a 29g (US) same with a shoal of colombian tetra?
