do pikes tolerate dithers ?

[papawoody]

i'm wondering how tolerant pikes would be tolerant of dithers like silver dollars or tinfoil barbs . i'm considering letting my little venny be the centerpiece of my 110 when he grows up . would it be a better idea to leave in a couple cichlids and or sd's ? or solo tank ? he's in with a carpintis , jd , convict , gt , and a salvini for now . they're all around the 3-5 inch mark still . as they get bigger i am for sure phasing out a few . i'd like to keep at least the jd and the carpintis if they can hang . then would it work if i add some sd's ??

Yup. I keep mine with all sorts of fish. Hampala dispar, Red Tailed Giant Gourami, plecos, other cichlids. Give it a go, chances are it will probably work. If not, your pike will let you know quickly.

Mine are in with all kinds of fish. As long as it doesn't fit in its mouth, it should be okay.

i think it shou;d definitely work, especially if hes growing up in a tank with a bunch of cichlids now. if its alittle to over crawded with cichlids and aggression when they get bigger, just swap some out for silver dollars. i usually put silver dollars in all my pike tanks.
