Due to some forced rearrangements, I had to put my 11" Venezuela and 9" F0 Lenticulata together in the 265. I was afraid at first because of stories of pike on pike violence but they're doing great. There's no fighting at all, just an occasional nip like any cichlid would do. I love having a two-pike tank.

The Venezuela is my favorite of the two, he's so cool. The Lenticula is awesome too though, it's an F0 from Infinite Aquatics. I still don't know if it's male or female but it's Extremely aggressive and very quick, strong and agile. It's now in better company with 2 Jags, the Venezuela, a Festae and 3 Grammodes. Believe it or not, there's relative peace among them.
Looking great so far man!!! 
How long you had them together? I'd still keep an eye on them. Sometimes there is peace before the chaos.

It's a way better arrangement for now. I'll keep an eye on them though, don't worry and thanks for the tip.
Great looking pikes. Glad they're getting along well together. I'm sure that it helps when you have 265g for them to share.
