Black line pikes have a cream color body and bold black horizontal lines. Pike cichlids are a great bottom dweller of a larger species community tank. These cichlids have beautiful markings and get along with other species of their same size, but they will eat fish they can fit in their mouth. AquariumFishSale.com imports our wild pike cichlids from Columbia and they vary in pattern depending upon which area of the Amazon basin that they are caught. Pictured is a full size adult male.
