The Predatory Behavior of Pike-Cichlids Towards Algae-Eating Fish

How do pike-cichlids locate their prey and what do they eat?

Pike-cichlids locate their prey by sight and they eat small, immature algae-eating fish.

In a hypothetical environment, pike-cichlids use their vision to spot and hunt down small, immature algae-eating fish. These predatory fish rely on their keen eyesight to identify their prey and consume them as part of their diet.

Being able to identify and target their prey visually gives pike-cichlids an advantage in capturing the algae-eating fish in their habitat. This behavior puts a predatory pressure on the population of the algae-eaters, impacting their numbers and survival.
