Description: Crenicichla compressiceps are the smallest commercially available Pike Cichlids. They have red fins with distinct gold patterning. As a Pike Cichlid, they are carnivorous and do best with a varied meaty diet of dry and frozen foods. They will eat any small fish that fit in their mouth, so they will do best with larger community fish.
