Origin[edit]

In the wild C. johanna comes from S. America including the Rio Orosa in Peru.[1]


Tank compatibility[edit]

Pikes are fairly aggressive Cichlids and are not compatible with pikes of other species or members of the same species and same sex. Pikes usually do not back down from a challenge.


Identification[edit]

Wide mouth and nostrils very close to (almost on) upper jaw. This is a distinct feature of C. johanna.
