    Came across Crenicichla sp today at QianHu. Seemed to be one of the dwarf species. Forgot to take the name down. Can anyone confirm this?
    Was wondering whether anyone has kept dwarf Crenicichla before.

    its seldom we see these species in our local waters and $10++ a piece is quite a steal....any other interesting species you saw there?

    the two dwarf pikes that have come into the UK are regani and dorsoccelatus and both commanded a decent price.

    Just the common fishes, though they seemed to have some uncommon eartheaters.

    I used to keep a Crenicichla regani. Small size, but definitely got presence. Spunky little fellow and can be quite aggressive. It was a contaminant from one of Gan Fish Farm's shipment.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    When i went Gan's on the same day i went QianHu i think i saw some of these Crenicichla sp there too. Not really sure as i didn't really take notice. They were in this tank with discus and discrossus filamentosa.
    I can't confirm whether its really Crenicichla sp too because i only checked Apistogramma.com after the trip to the fish farms as i recall seeing these fishes on the internet.
