My African tiger pike is attacking everything in my tank except my motoro Ray. He tore a chunk out of my payara and the payara is Bigger than the ode. He has healed up since the few attacks. Will they work out in the end? They are about 10 plus inches
Tiger pike is crazy

LOL with all the issues you having right now and you still ask us? Not sure what's kind Payara you having now but if you have a Armatus then your Odoe pike will be its snack later.
A red tail payara. That fish is to timid to eat my pike! I ask cause people say they do alright together. And was wondering if any others had any issues?!!!
Odoe Pike HATE silvery color fish and your red tail max size is same or smaller than the Odoe so most likely your pike will kill the tats soon or later...especially its an overly aggressive one.
Give it time maybe he's just doing it to become dominant. If it's continues you may want to separate the two. And with the payara, being sensitive and mellow, you're going to want to begin picking tankmates a bit more carefully and do research on the fish you intend to put with it because odoes can be aggressive and definitely have the capability of doing damage, like right now, mine seems to have gone on a bit of an aggression streak now that he's the largest in the tank, but nothing to where I've had to separate more of just a charge and then he backs off.
