Freshwater Canadian predators?

[Mathieu914]

I thought about Longnose gar and Muskellunge but they are actually pretty big ( 1m30 for the Muskellunge).

I would want to hear you if you know some of predators living in Canada.

 

[manlyfish]

predators for your tank...?

or the coolest predators out there?

 

[Mathieu914]

Well, more about the second, don't have a tank big enough for that type of fish.

How big of a tank are you going to have? You guys have Burbot, Walleye, Smallmouth Bass for a big tanks and Sculpins, Sticklebacks,Alaska Blackfish and Mummichogs for a small tanks. In the southern areas of Cananda you have goldeneyes,Mooneyes,Rock Bass and Pumpkinseed sunnies along with Grass Pickeral for medium sized tanks. I believe Canada has about 200 species of fish and some would be very hard to keep like Arctic Grayling and Inconnu (although that would be massively cool).

whenever i think of canada fishing, my mind always goes to pike.

Pikes are awesome up here.They are in most of the lakes where i live. When i was working in Ft. Mcmurray (up north Alberta) I caught a 23 lb pike. It had the redest fins and was a true beauty. It would of looked truly awesome in a aquarium. I released it though because thats where the river needed it. Could a pike be kept from a small age in say a 8 footer?

A pike could definitley be kept for a while in an 8ft tank, but would eventually even outgrow that. my biggest pike I ever caught was 36 inches but most of the ones i catch around here are 18-30 inches.

Pike could be kept in a species only tank, only if the 8ft tank was a growout. You would also have to have incredible filtration and oxygenation of the tank. Pike and Lake Trout would be incredible also.....but since he said he didnt have a big enough tank for a Musky I thought it would be out of the question.
