Crenicichla Regani Dwarf Pike Cichlid

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

nice job

[@Shaden0040]

To get your BGKF to come out try placing a red filter between your lights and the glass over the tank, and turn off one of the lights if you have two fixtures.

@Luke Johnson For anyone that wants to see this elusive fish in their own tanks.

[@anthonylj9709]

@@Shaden0040 I agree, by simply reducing the lighting or even using a softer light, I've noticed wonders with fish like elephant nose and even my synodontis. Some elusive fish like my spiny eel could care less if the sun was over top of it though, eats anything and basically wont leave my hand alone if i'm doing maintenance.

@@anthonylj9709My BGKF used to be hand fed tubifex worms, blood worms, and frozen brine shrimps and he would always follow my hand in the tank when I was doing water changes with my python. Hard to keep it out of the gravel vac tube. O.O

[@marksguitars5617]

That's a gorgeous cichlid!

[@nancysworld3675]

I love your pike too. I remember the one you use to have. I always loved seeing it. I have never seen them around here though.

[@starlord7743]

How big does that fish get an also would be ok with silver dollars angles an algae eaters?

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

It only gets a few inches, and I think it'd be fine with those fish.

[@starlord7743]

Thanks for the reply

[@andromolina7468]

Nice video. Do you think the dwarf pike would get along with rams?

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

They'd need a large tank, but yes, probably.

[@smoovejay122]

That's one awesome little cichlid Dan... I like the way it moves through the water...How big do these get?

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

No more than 5 inches.

[@mariaz9538]

Those big corys are females...try putting 4 more in with them ( they like to be in groups) and do a cool water water change...they will probably spawn for you at least that's what works for me

[@loganross1861]

Are those all crypts along the front? How many gallons is your tank?

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

I believe they are. This is a 40 breeder.

[@loganross1861]

Dan Hiteshew thx 👍

[@Shaden0040]

I'd bet those pepper corys are both females. it is possible, but not likely that the BGKF is feeding on the baby snails.

[@evano8312]

Are those serpaes or red phantoms??

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

Serpae (Red Minor)

[@loavesfishes6268]

Maybe the pepper cories got fat on escargot sushi! Lol

This pike fish is acting differ two your old one . Watch how he acts round your tetra fish . If he get much bigger can see you having trouble with this one . 30 year fish keeper

[@darthsenilus7504]

Crenicichla regani only grows up to 10cm / 4-5" ... I doubt they eat any other fish besides young guppy fry

[@matharris100]

It died when your tank went short of oxygen ! Look back on your vids . All the worms came out remember you saying there all ways in your tank . Ps long time subscriber . Just helping my friend ....👍

[@anthonylj9709]

I recall that as well!
