Inirida Gold Spot Pike Cichlid (Saxatilia cf. saxatilis 'Inirida')

Inirida Gold Spot Pike Cichlid (Saxatilia cf. saxatilis ‘Inirida’)

A uncommon, medium-growing Pike Cichlid from the Rio Inirida and its tributaries along the Colombia-Venezuela border, this species is a member of the so-called “saxatilis group” of pikes. Like most cichlids in this group, they display attractive gold spotting which intensifies as they grow. With their relatively moderate adult size and less aggressive nature than some of their close relatives, this species is one of the better Crenicichla for a mixed species community aquarium (of similarly sized fish).
