Description
Two-spot pike cichlids hail from the Amazon and South American River basins. Growing up to 22cm in length, these predatory freshwater fish are best identified by the two spots featured on their bodies; one near the base of their tail and one on their dorsal fin.
To mimic their natural environment, consider lots of rocks and driftwood to create hiding places and establish boundaries within the tank. Two-spot pikes are highly aggressive and territorial. They are best housed with fish that are the same size or bigger that are robust and will not be phased by the aggressiveness of the two-spot pikes.
Two-spot pikes are carnivores. At Wirral Aquatics we feed EBO Pro Soft Artemia and Mussel sticks. We also feed live foods including bloodworm and mysis shrimp.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
