I saw an adult kafue pike (around 2 yrs of age), is it worth buying and keep.. Because in many websites i read, it said this fish will only live for 4-5 years in the wild. Will it be able to live longer in captivity? From what I know, the fish was captive raise since it was a baby...Will a 90 Gallon will be enough (currently its around 40cm long)? Cause their max size is around 70cm and i dont think they grow into that.. :confused:
 
of course they're worth buying. very cool predator that'll get along well with other monsters.

as for tank size, just use common sense. if the fish is 12-18", then your tank should be at least 20" wide and 4 times the length of the fish.
