African Pike (Hepsetus odoe)

[Oxymus]

I searched the forum but seem I can't find any informations about the waterflow rate in the tank for this type of fish (I saw a greate post about ATF how to care and setup the tank for them).
I want my Odoe a happy fish for his short life while in my care
Thanks for any tips.

Odoes seem to be happier in relatively calm water.

Moving this to Other Characins, that's the correct section and you'll get more responses there.

Just have a good filter that can give a decent amount of oxygen and waterflow. Not too much current.

what size of tank? Depending on the tank, you can simply get a canister filter.

Oh, it's 75G tank, I'm using undergravel filter to keep everything stay at bottom and lot of plants plus inside tank filter that had multi control the way of waterflows.
I modified my filter output too so my Odoe (7 inches) quite happy now (he swimming around the tank more than before).
Only him in the tank though, he's killed the tiger oscar yesterday. I searched around I some peoples said Tinfoil barb can be his tank mate (I can use tinfoil barb to teach my Odoe eat pellets).
