Wow, the tanks look awesome!! All live? Mixed? Or all Fake? Can't ever tell. Either way, looks awesome.
So thats the demon pike huh? LoL!

I took a bunch of pics but the good ones were really blurry, this fish is so spastic I can't keep it focused on it.
This is the middle Cobra Pike (the one Melissa beat the snot out of) Trying to take a bite out of my camera. He's taken her place as the resident evil, and the other fish is hidding behind the intake tubes ?
He doesnt care for his reflection either

Between the three tanks there might be 6 or 7 fake plants the rest are real.
I also was wondering do Pikes normaly eat snails. There are not nearly as many snails in the 20L as there was when I first put her in there? She doesn't eat as much but is always fat, I guess shes getting a snail belly.
Here is my Belly Crawler
I want to get rid of the light gravel and see if it brings out more color.
Yeah, normally the darker gravel will bring out the most color. Awesome pikes. I am really surprised by the aggression though. I kept four sp. 'cobras' together for eight months with no problems. Then I put them in with three sp. 'xingu II' and one lenticulata. Still no serious problems. Guess you got the grumpy strain!! LoL!
where's the other 2?
yep, ya def got a solo pike there. sometimes being solo also makes them even more nonsocial.
nice tanks.

The pike in the 20L is the crazy fish Melissa she just wasnt feeling crazy when I had the camera.
The pike in the 180 attacking the camera and its reflection is the less agressive pike I didnt name it yet.
The third pike (below pic) the normal one is glued behind the intake tubes. He's probably thinking "get me out of this nut house"
Melissa and the middle pike are pretty close in size the only way I can tell them apart is the middle one is missing most of his right flipper (thanks to Melissa) if it turns out to be a male I guesst I'll have to call it Mel
I would have said what peanut wrote earlier about takin her out, completely re-arranging everything then re-introduce. I would also venture that they are all females, but aren't they immature as they are still marbled? Something that may, may just work is to stage the whole 180gal in 1/3rds with perferated plexiglass or egg crate. Splitting all three into sections for a month or two. See how that works.
What I can tell you is that with my cobra - anything that resembled the same torpedo body shape would be dead in seconds. If you introduce anything make sure it is larger than 1/2 the cobras body size and it must be 3's or more. God forbid you ever put loaches in, mine ate about $300 worth.
They can be gorgeous, but pure *****!!!
