does anyone think it would be safe to mix a semifasciatus with some of the smaller guapotes like a freddy or mota in a 200g

 

[sicxspeed]

I think they would be fine together as long as they are the same size for the most part.

Give it a try! they should be OK - have some cave spot/PVC for the semi, maybe also rocks + driftwood.

I housed a apir of semis with a pair of carpinte in a 75 just fine.

200 gallons should allow for quite a few hiding spaces.Provide many.

Just have some big nets ready, cuz it will be a chore to catch either of them in a tank that big...lol. Should be aight though, semifasc. generally aren't that bad, and as long as your other fish don't try to punk it, should be aight. Keep an eye on them for the first few days though!

Semi's can be terrors - one of the few Pikes we've had that attack the python when cleaning ~ prolly just their nature.... Our female used to fight with a larger red tapajos male when in a community tank - they learned to stay on opposite ends of the 150 g. tank. It took a long time for our female to get some color - bright red dorsal and some red on her sides, differant looking with a thick body and short head ~ NICE PIKE !!!
