Hello folks! Happy August!! This offering is for 8 F1 Crenicichla saxatilis that are now about 2 inches long maybe a little longer. I ran some offerings for these fish in June when they were barely an inch now they are BIGGER! These Pikes were bred locally by a hobbyist named Tom who always seems to be breeding either rarer Cichlids or Catfish. He is the same guy who first started breeding all those Red Lizard Catfish I have offered here in the past. These Pikes were also profiled in last Months issue of Amazonas Magazine if you happen to read it. You should, it's AWESOME! Here's what Tom has to say about these fish- Kept at 80 degrees. Regular tap water with tons of driftwood. 40 gallon long. The females developed red bellies at about 2.5 inches. The male was only 3" when spawning started. When the females belly started to get huge, I did cool water changes about 5 days in a row and eggs were laid. Fry stayed in with parents for a few weeks. These fry were born April 7th. The parents of these pikes were wild caught and imported to the USA as "White spotted Suriname Pikes". In fact I am the guy who originally sexed out and sold Tom these pikes. Tom has spent a good amount of time trying to positively ID these fish and after talking with several "Pike experts" including Vinny Kutty and now believes he is working with Crenicichla saxatilis. These fish should grow to about 10-12 inches long and they are cave spawners. Like most Pikes they will be come aggressive especially towards other pike species. Tom says they will eat ANYTHING from flake food to live blackworms and I have been feeding them frozen brine shrimp and Tetramin here in my fishroom. Pike Cichlids of any kind are pretty hard to find in the hobby, here is a chance to receive 8 2" long Juveniles so you can raise them up and work on spawning them while they are still young and easier to keep together! Win this offering and I will send you 8 of these Pikes! I will also add some quality foods they are eating well to the box. Shipping is ALWAYS free with my auctions and I always guarantee live arrival of fish that look just like they do in my photos! This is a photo of the Adult Breeding Pair Tom took with his phone. These are photo's of the actual batch of Pikes I am offering now. The fish you are bidding on have grown from this size in 8 short weeks! Folks, I don't mess around. I sell nice stuff. I start all these auctions at a dollar and I offer free shipping and an unconditional guarantee. Trust ol' Lotsoffish. I ship 3 days a week- Monday, Tuesday, AND Wednesday, I also FEARLESSLY ship into ALL temperatures. I'll get your fish to you alive folks. It's my specialty! I can usually ship the next available shipping day after you cough up the loot, and as always, I don't mess around. email me any questions
