i wouldn't say that my uncle had northern pike in his tank and they wen't from 6'' to 13'' in about 6-7 mounths with the temp at 68F and muskie grow MUCH faster then pike so i'd have a bigger tank handy if i were you

P.S muskie grow much faster and live much longer in cooler water keep the temp in the 60s

They are going to have to deal with a few dog day months in the low 70s, but for the rest I will have no problem keeping them in the 60s. They are in the basement. Anyone who fishes will like this, they eat like crazy before a storm, but not much after, just like fishing! LOL! Hey!!! I can use them to predict the weather, and when to fish!!!!!! LOL

Not sure if your talking to me. But if you are, Tigers are half Musky, half Northern.
