Have seen some nice dwarf pikes every now and then in this forum too.

Can experiment with a few fishes.
Will the pikes be aggressive towards the EEs?

That is a beautiful Geophagus Brasilliensis you got there.
Quite easy to breed and they grow to beautiful pearly body.
Can be quite aggressive too.

thanks bros...

but somehow it doesn't look like to me (i could surely be wrong) the pearliness is quite 'enhanced' because of the angle the flash came down.. i thought brasiliensis pearls are more 'permanent'?

or maybe it is a juvenile..

here're 2 more images with lesser direct flash from top:
