Ive always wanted a snake head and keep getting told that I should just get a pike. but There the species I know the least about :confused: So is there any similarities or am I looking in the wrong direction here. I want somthing big and fiesti :naughty: Like a big salt water wrasse but for fresh water. So whats the biggest high energy pike out there ?????
 
id say a pike is closest to a snakehead u can get i mean i used to have a baby giant snakehead aka red snakehead and theyre pretty similar right now i have a sveni pike hes the bully of the tank for sure hes almost killing my oscar which is bigger than him he had ripped its fins and such but still they dont have teeth big enough for u to worry about while doing water changes and they dont get as big as snakeheads.he bullies all his tank mates around which include two juvie jags a normal oscar and four firemouths(2 pairs) and he bullies all of them around as much as possible especially when they get near his ship so id say a pike cichlid is definatly ur best bet
 
How big does the sveni and orange "Xingu I" get. I have an empty 125 and a even bigger tank that will be empty soon as Im working on filter Ideas for my rtc than he's going in a pool. so I should beable to house them at any size I THINK ?
 
the sveni will get 10" max so a 55 will do fine as a minimal and i wouldnt put a rtc with him cuz my cousin had a rtc that was like 12" and he ate two jag cichlids one was 8" other 6" rtc are crazy only thing id put with them are other monsters such as tsn or clown knife or a gar of some sort
