Two pikes, One question,

[Chiapet29]

Hello all, I just picked up a juvi pike & he's currently in my 75gl, I already have a Sveni that's not happy with her presence, my question is will they last & possibly pair up? or will one wind up taken out?

Maybe try adding some cave so that they cant see each other that could possibly reduce the aggression. Or give the new one hiding.space

I have ample hiding spots, two large driftwood pieces, pvc pive, & plenty of rocks,,, I will monitor them & hope for the best?

I'd separate with a divider and let her get used to her side of the tank and stake out a territory. It will also let the male get used to her presence. Leave separated for a few weeks and then let them mix while keeping a close eye.

Sveni's can get pretty nasty with each other.
