Hey i saw this african pike in the lfs today duno how much if its too much im guna say forget it. but i wanted to know if a 7" African pike can be housed with a 5" GATF???
 
I heard Odoe's are king of like GATF... Don't like silver fish. I would not risk a bigger teeth fish with a GATF. You can buy about 6-7pcs Odoe for the price of 1 GATF.
 
O ok so its not a good idea? because i already have the GATF

Every fish is diff as far as characteristics go, but I would not chance it with an expensive fish. You do have a great chance if the Odoe is about 2-3" smaller (being that their mouths open at a good size and ATF are kind of slim when young)
 
does anyone keep them together??? bump
 
Odoe pike can be nasty with similar looking fish....Also that size difference may be enough for the GATF to get eaten.
 
Ok so all in all its a bad idea... I just thought it would look cool... That type of looking fish together...

I had 2 VATF's at 6" and bought a 7" Odoe. I think this was the most scariest time in the hobby. After seeing him eat, I got scared cause I seen the shrimp as my VATF. Got rid of him QUICK!

I encourage to get one... but make sure it is smaller than the prize fishes. I just bought a Juvi and the little bastard jumped out of my tank. I guess he wanted to go up on the wall from the way he ended up:ROFL:
I say right now is the time to get a juvi. GATF's are skittish when young and don't even attack food like VATF'S. So I would say you have a good chance at keeping them for a while. Right now the Odoe would be the concern, but that will change in the near future. Maybe when the GATF gets to about
