Crocodile Gourami Peppermint Pike Head Luciocephalus Pulcher 10cm

“Introducing the captivating Crocodile Gourami Peppermint Pike Head (Luciocephalus pulcher), a striking and enigmatic freshwater fish that hails from Southeast Asia. Known for its unique appearance reminiscent of a crocodile, this species thrives in slow-moving, heavily vegetated waters like swamps and streams.

Feeding these carnivorous beauties requires a diet rich in live or frozen meaty foods, such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small feeder fish. They have an appetite for live prey but can adapt to accept high-quality pellets or flakes.

In a well-designed tank with plenty of hiding spots among driftwood, rocks, or dense vegetation, they tend to flourish. Although these pike heads boast an intimidating appearance, they generally coexist peacefully with tank mates of similar size and temperament, such as larger peaceful fish like certain cichlids or catfish.

Their territorial behavior and occasional aggression towards their own kind mean providing ample space and ensuring each fish has its hideouts is essential. Intermediate to experienced aquarists will appreciate their care requirements, particularly in maintaining stable water conditions. Aim for a pH range of 6.0-7.5, a temperature between 75-82°F (24-28°C), and slightly soft to moderately hard water.

With their distinctive appearance and intriguing behaviors, the Crocodile Gourami Peppermint Pike Head is a captivating addition to an aquarist’s collection, rewarding those willing to provide the proper care and environment for these fascinating creatures.”
