Hello Jason,
I had the good fortune to obtain a pair of these beautiful dwarf pikes a
couple of years ago.
Unfortunately I housed them in my display Discus tank pH6.5 and sadly the
Pikes died.  Apparently the pH should be 7+ for this species.  Check out
Vinny Kutty's excellent Website on Pike cichlids

Jason if you do not receive relevant information from the list if you wish I
could contact my friend in England who is somewhat a pike-idiot and I am
sure Graham will give you information.
