There the largest SP of pike males are said to get up to 20'' females smaller they grow fast to
I've heard they get pretty nasty but more and more people are telling me that the are pretty peaceful i've only kept one and it was pretty peaceful so i'm learning its un common for them to turn aggressive

Should be pretty laid back for a while at least. Depends on what you keep it with. Sometimes they can really lay the smack down. Nothing like a cincta though in their aggression. They are a pike though, so they aren't to be trusted with delicate species. :(
Should continue to get larger. Around 14" the growth should start to slow down, but shouldn't stop. :) Good luck with it! Tis a gorgeous one! Probably the best looking one I've seen so far! :) Love the purplish tint! :)

I got mine at 4-5 inches in December, and now it is at 12 or 13 inches. Check out my stock list in my sig. My Ven gets in small quarrels with my Jag sometimes, but that is about it. He/she is a pretty peaceful towards the tankmates.
