does enyone have a tiger muskie

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I had 2 tiger muskies. Both about 4" when I bought them. I just ( not more than 10 mins. ago) watched the larger one devour the smaller one. So now I have one tiger muskie. He is now about 6". I'm still a little pissed over this. When I first got them I didn't have a specific tank set up for just them, so I put them in a 55 w/ some small peacock bass, figuring they could hold there own. Nope by the next day the two smaller peacocks where gone, and my muskie had a full belly. I really enjoy mean aggressive fish, but it sucks when they don't care if they eat feeders, each other or other more expensive fish. Lesson Learned.....
 
I no longer have a tigert muskie. He jumped out today. I came home and was dead on the floor. So I fed him to my aro. I'm sure he appreciated the delicacy.
 
A typical tiger muskie thought process. It only has two questions in its head.

Question 1. You are dead or alive?
a. dead - move on.
b. alive - ask question 2.

Question 2. Can I swallow you?
a. yes - do it.
b. no - go back to question 2.
 
is this a tiger musky or some other type of musky? i just picked it up for 20 bucks.

Tigers get huge, i've caught some 44-49", and i've seen some 55"ers, ther big fish, and they would need lakes worth of gallons in a tank.
 
thanks for the info guys! now that i hear they grow relly fast im not suprised he ate 24 feeders in one day. this guy is deffinatly not gettin feeders much longer. sweet lookin fish though. i like how he swims with his 4 small fins. his long snout, and hes very fast.
