My Muskie

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Awesome fish...Ive always wondered why muskies and hybrids are not more popular in the hobby...I was lucky enough to have a tiger Muskie a few years ago.

I heard they do very bad in glass tanks. I don't know if this is true though, especially since you have kept one.
I might get a northern for my pond next year.

3 of my 4 northerns have done great.... on is kinda a runt, and does seem to be having a hard time adapting to the aquarium. Not sure if he's just skitish cause he's the smallest or just can't settle in, but he does have eternal nose rub... as for the muskie, on seems to be doing great, the other still seems uncomfortable, but I've only had them a month, and based on my experience with the pike, that's probably not long enough to really tell. I still have them isolated, and fattening them up.
 
Watch out that the runt doesn't get too far behind in growth. Pike are very cannibalistic animals.

We need full tank pics, quit holding out on us. How big is your setup?
 
How big a tank does one need to keep those beauties? In terms of footprint?

Because once they gain some size to them, only those with decent sized ponds can properly house them. And it's not like one has a lot of options for keeping other native species in a pond that contains muskie.

Miguel, for the most part this is one of those fish that should never be kept in a glass tank.
