Dwarf pike cichlids, Crenicichla sp.

Samala

mmm RNA..
I was wondering if anyone here has kept any of the dwarf pike cichlids (C. regani and notophthalmus especially) and could give recommendations on a setup that is conducive to keeping them happy. Good info. would include sex ratios, total number fish, smallest gallonage considered "safe", decor, temperature/pH/hardness, etc.

I HAVE checked out Vinny Kutty's site on the pike cichlids, but I'm trying to get a feel for what other people have had success with in keeping these beauties.

Also.. anyone have a source for either C. regani or notophthalmus? They're supposed to be fairly available but I have NEVER seen them in my area.

Thanks!
