Crenicichla johanna

The Crenicichla johanna is a striking species of pike cichlid that is known for its elongated body and vibrant coloration, particularly the rich red hues in adults. They require a spacious tank with adequate hiding spots due to their territorial nature, especially when breeding. It's important to maintain a balanced diet rich in protein, including live or frozen foods like shrimp and small fish. Due to their size and predatory behavior, they should be housed with other robust tankmates or similarly-sized, robust fishes.
