proubly going to get a pike now and was woundering about these pikes

xingu
strigata
vittata
how aggressive are they and how big do they get

thanks

xingu 1 12"-14" pretty aggressive!

we'll i think i'm going to get a xingu but are there other common pikes that are color full

 

[saltydog_1]

johanna are fairly common and can have good color, cobras are readily available online and females can be quite red as adults, jeff rapps has marmoratta right now they are pricey but it doesnt get alot better than a marm. just depends whether or

 

[andyourblueblood]

marmoratas are sweeeeettt! still though i love xingus. i will be picking up yakuza-iruzume's 7" female today at some point! this will make 2 xingus for me. i am still tempted to go to neds and get the little 3" that he has there.

x1 are nice and so are marmoratas

 

[andyourblueblood]

marms. are sooooo hott!

 

[killerfish]

don't marmoratas get really big to big for say a 180 gallon?

 

[saltydog_1]

marms would do great in a 180. they are very comparable in size to xiingu or strigata. just not price lol.

Marms are comparable in length (around 16" in good conditions) to X1's, but they are more robust and thicker. X1's tend to be a more slender pike with a pointier nose. They will definitely do great in a 180. You could house even a larger pair of Cinctas in there easily.
