Help id my pike Cichlids

[Goggy]

I’m not sure what type of pike my crenicichlas are
They were sold as Atabapo II which is believable but I think they also resemble johannas

Some nice fish ya got there!

I've seen those for sure before. A quick google search leads me to believe they are atabapo pike cichlid.

Thanks, they’re my medium sized cichlids in my 800 gallon South American tank

I’m not sure what type of Atabapo it is as there are three types: Lugubris Atabapo, Atabapo I, Atabapo II

When I see their stripes and their cheeks when they flare up it leads me to believe they are atabapo II.
But atabapo IIs have dark colors unlike mine which have light coloration, which makes me wonder if they are a lugubris.
Also the stripe that goes through it’s body is so pronounced when flared up that I begin to wonder if it is a Johanna.

What do you think?
