How is this guy temperment? My lent is on regular water and seem to color up after eating Hikari food stixs. This is easily one of my favorite pike.

Her temperament is fairly typical for lenticulata. She has a territory and she chases other fish out of it to a certain extent. The fact that her and the male have paired up and are now defending part of the tank doesn't help much though.

They are actually quite good. They flare at the other pikes in there, but pretty much there are no squabbles or fin nipping. Everyone seems to have found their own comfort zone.
