I had one when I first started fish keeping about 7 years ago got grew him out to 14" from a small size but had to sell due to aggression still one one of my favorite pikes

Yea its a nice pike but the aggression from mine is over the top. I like the tempermant of the pikes ive had in the past better.

I was able to move these guys to a bigger tank and they have really bonded.

Great to hear. They are mellow to other fish once they are in n a stable bond. I keep mine with bahia oscars and severums and they get along great.

Mine are not mellw at all they just dont fight each other anymore, but they are very aggressive to other fish. Are you basing this info on the one pair you have now or have you had other cinctas.

I think im gonna add some jade gobys to their tank.

Im basing it on my pair. What is the tank size you have yours in?

 

[mrrobxc]

I keep all my lugubris pikes with tankmates. I find the key is to keep them with fish that occupy a completely different niche.

My lents I kept with Angels and geos with chalceus for top water.

Tapajos with angels currently. I've had them with caquetaia spectabilis before.

Zebrina with cichla and hoplarchus.

They hated CA cichlids however.
