Ok well first let me say that this is my first post on MFK, I joined a few years a go and I had to set up another account because I could not remember my log in info lol. Almost every day I come on MFK and try to keep up with gossip on Crenicichla and I plan on posting more frequently now. I am a raging Crenicichlaholic, and I really enjoy reading the Crenicichla post, and I must say that there is some very knowledgeable Crenicichla people on this forum. So with all that said let me share with you the Crenicichla that I currently keeping.

C. Alta, C. Atabapo II, C. Minuano, C. Missioneira, C. Ntophthalmus, C. Regani, C. Wallacei

Welcome Jumbie!!! Are your Cr. wallacii (the wallacei spelling was corrected a while back) the undescribed Colombian ones common now a days, or are they the true Guyanans? ie does the female have a dorsal ocelli or is it plain?

And do you know what river your Cr. regani are from???

I thought it was spelled like Wallacii but when I looked it up online (so I could get the correct spelling and not make a fool of my self lol) this is what came up. The Internet is never wrong lol. I have two pairs in different tanks and one of the females has dorsal ocelli and one does not. I got them from two different sources and at two different times. I thought I was ripped off when I didn't see the marking on the dorsal fin of the female, but the seller reinsured me that they were without a doubt Wallacii. I could get you the correct info when I get home but if I think the group I have now is Regani Alenquer sp. "Rio Negro". I have it down in a book at home and I will make sure to post a correct answer later.

I'd love to see pics of the undorsaled Cr. wallacii!!! In their scientific description, they don't have the ocelli but the Colombian ones being sold as wallacei do have one. It sounds like you might have both!!

I have a quick question, my LFS had a pike labeled as a "Colombian Pike" is this a common name for a certain crenicichla? Thanks.

I now have:

15" male Tapajos II
8" female Xingu I (most recent addition...she's a bee-otch, but everyone seems to be healing from her initial reign of terror)
