Aggression....

[Dovii dude]

Alright heres my problem,i have a 6-7 inch Pike(sold to me as a "spangled" Pike)it is very aggressive,he is in a 20 gal long for now,i also have a 4-5 inch Orange Pike,2-5 inch Oscars,2 6-7 inch Chocolate cichlids(not Temporale)a Pleco and a Pictus cat.I am getting a larger tank at X-mass(210 gal)my question is with a larger tank and a lot of fish do you think this can work or will the aggressive Pike kill all the others??I know that my Orange Pike wont stand a chance(i will keep him in a 55 gal tank till he grows some more)but what about the other fish??Thanks!!

Should be fine!! Where did you get the cory's at though? Don't see them very much here in the states! Great chocolates if you ask me!!

Pikes generally aren't horribly bad towards other fish as long as they are added around the same time and the like. Or if they are over aggressive, like jags, rd, midas, stuff like that. With the fish you listed though, should work out pretty good for you. If you are worried about it, put the spangled pike in the 55gal and put the 'xingu I' in the 210...

I got the Cory's from a place here called" Fish Frenzy",he gets a lot of the rarer fish.The only Problem is they are both females and always fight!!Do you know what a "Spangled Pike"really is and how big they get??

Without pictures, all I can tell you is its some sort of Saxatilis pike. Go to Vinny site and check there, compare and what not. Generally Saxatilis pikes max out around 10" for females, if that, and males around the 12".
