Get a smaller pike as their growth rate is very much faster than VATF. Also do remember to cover any small hole. I kept with my GATF & VATF. 1 day I notice it was gone and I think it jump out a few days already as it was harden.
Not worth it... I had a 13" Goliath get his Arse bombed on by a 8-9" Odoe... I almost jumped in the tank to save him. ATF are very skitish at a young age and grow slow as Odoes grow (dont quote me but Im sure I am in the ball park) to max size in about 2-3 yrs. They are more aggressive at the size they are when compared to a ATF (especially GOLIATH).

I dare to quote you cos I do agree To me GATF is skitish cos even for 12" they are consider a baby fish 1500mm / 300mm is 5 so it like only 1 year old by the size.
