Got Muskie?

[bosshawg]

anyone know where i can get baby tiger muskie in the columbus, oh area and would a 110 gal tank be enough room? what else could i put in there with it? any ideas for a tank setup would be great also

 

[CichlidAddict]

110 gallon? That may be okay for about 6 months at most... Muskie grow very fast.

 

[bosshawg]

so what would be a better choice because i want to make it a fw aggressive tank

 

[sandtiger]

A better alternative to tiger muskie would be pickerel. Specifically redfin or grass pickerel who reach about a foot in length.

I'd say you'd need at least a 500 gallon tank to properly house a muskie

i have a tiger muskie.a 500 gallon tank will probably be necessary.they can get big.also you should feed them round-shaped fish(they are more attracted to them).Muskie are also hungry fish,so you should always have food ready.

 

[Mystus Redtail]

Yeah, I've read they can grow as much as 18" in a year. Not a lot of time if you're not prepared to upgrade fast.

 

[SG130]

Also remember once you get one you CANNOT realease it,native or not.

a full grow tiger muskie couldn't even fit into a 110 and would be really cramped in a 500 you need a pond around 15-20 feet long at least they get 5 feet long and are very fast

If you like stream line fish like that try
red tail barracuda
grass pickerel
needlefish
rocket gar
