right now no... have no DC at the moment...
it'd be my dream to have a northern chillin in my living room. do you eer hear anything about folks keeping muskie??
wow, that would be soo cool being able to go to the lfs and purchase a northern... here in the us it is illegal to sell natives. yes, living in michigan i am "surrounded" by northerns but in all my years have never seen a 6 inch pike in a lake TO net or capture...
oh, nate... i actually caught my first pike this summer at a lake near ithaca (near mt. pleasant)... was about 18-19 inches. was cool, but was nowhere near the fight like a sizeable lg mouth bass...

I used to go a few hundred miles north of Wawa, Ont., Canada every summer after northern pike and walleye. The northerns were very aggressive feeding fish. and oh! they tasted sooo good. btw, average size of the northerns was about 32"
This bring back memories 
My 10" Northern Pike I caught jumped out of my tank and died. I miss watching him eat up feeder minnows and gold fish. I swear they are strong, he popped out of my glass top, had to jump so hard that the top raised enough for him to fit. I couldn't believe it till this day. The only reason why I know he jump ( not my little cousin taking him out ) was because the first time he almost died but the second time I found him too late.
Northerns are nice but they stay motionless for a long time, it's when you feed them that they're very good to keep.

I used to have pickerel which is a miniature version of a northern pike probably about 6 inches then my 12" pacu ate all of him except for his head
they can handle like 24-25 celcius. In colder areas the water gets to that temp in the summer and they do fine... they just have to eat alot... n give them lots of oxygen by adding extra air pumps
