Does anyone have any information on this species? I picked up a group at the ACA convention last summer. I now have 3 females, 3 males and one runt. Although two of the females look like they have swallowed a marble, there have been no signs of spawing. All of the fish were originially in a 55 gallon tank. I moved what looked like two pairs to two separate 30 gallon long tanks. After each pair had been in their own tank for about a week, I replaced about 30% of the tank water with RO Water that was 10% F cooler than the tank water in order to trigger a spawn. Its been about two weeks and nothing has happened. I was following a TFH article about dwarf pikes. The TFH article was about c. regani, c. nothophthalmus and c. compressiceps. I think that this species is similar to c. regani in temperment (I have kept and bred this species) but closer in appearence to c. nothophthalmus.
The other inhabitants of the tanks are white clouds, which I use as dithers. There is also plenty of plant cover.
I have been feeding them frozen blood worms, black worms and bbs.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
