Advise on Chain Pickerel/Tiger Musky needes

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
when i had my LMB, i fed them wild-caught bluegills, greenies, shiners, chubs and crawlers in the spring to fall. I left them in the tank or in a bucket. Only in the winter did i feed them goldfish. If you get a decent size wild pike, it'll most likely be strong enough to survive any diseases and parasites in decent water.
 
Cod, thw Tiger I am.looking to get will be farm raised. I am not sure if that would have any effect on its tolerance towards parasites and or diseases. However as in most hybrids I believe thw Tiger will be hardier than its origin ****erparts. Krich, you have truly been a great help. The information I have garnered on this forum has been more imformitive than all my past three months of google searching combined. What kind of turnover rate do you guys think I should do to maximize water clarity but also keep the flow at a comfortable place for a Tiger as they mostly like to sit in one spot waiting to ambush. That being said I know most lake fish like a turnover rate of 3-4 an hour. But being that Tigers are so messy it makes me think to have the water specs thwy require to thrive a turnover rate of 8-10 would be required. Perhaps start lower and increase the turnover rate as the fish increases in size? Thanks again!

I disagree with this statement. They are less likely to be adaptable to the aquarium life and more likely to lower their immunity then become vulnerable to any kinds of diseases.
