Thanks. Would he coexist with a zebrina with little to no issues?I’d say xingu 1.
Not sure. Always a risk when mixing pikes. Maybe Rocksor can give more info.Thanks. Would he coexist with a zebrina with little to no issues?
Highly doubtful that a Xingu 1 and Zebrina will coexist long term. You can try. If you wan't to increase your chances, there has to be enough high flow that the pikes are constantly swimming against a current for most of the waking day. You also need about as many as 3-4 times the amount of hides for each pike. But, lots of bad things can happen when lights have turned off. If I remember correctly, Vin Kutty (way more of a pike expert than me since he's studied and observed pikes in the wild) had stated that Xingu 1 were more nocturnal in nature.Thanks.

Growing out together doesn't matter too much. Juvenile pikes hang out to increase their survival against predators. When they become adults they spread out away from other pikes due to competition.Thanks for the responses. Its a 300 gallon lots of rocks and driftwood being added as soon as I can get outside and pressure wash them off. I was hoping to find a zebrina same size and let them grow out together. I also have 2 more orange xingu on the way.
