Hey yesterday i got a new orange pike from the lfs. I dont know too much about them but its awsome so far. Im not sure which orange pike it is but it is like a light to dark orange with a black stripe along the length of the body and black speckles on the head. It is about 3 inches and i have it with my 3"jag and 3"pike (not sure wat kind). I want as much info as i can get on these. Ill also try to post up pics.

Do you have a second tank??I am no pro but i have always heard that 2 Pikes will kill each other,also i know Jags,they are very aggressive.An Orange Pike is pretty cool,i would want to keep him if i were you,just my 2 cents!!
I have 2 pikes in the same tank.They have been together for about 8 months.They are also with 4 jags.I haven't had problems yet.
Use google's image search untill you have multiple hits on your fish. Then you should be fairly certain of the name. Re-google the name as normal and bingo, most of the info that yuo need. Good luck and post pics if u cn someday.
feed nicely, good wc's and all will grow nicely in the month. What size tank are they in? Ive only noticed aggression with my pikes once territory is established and when wanting to breed.

I love this fish already eats like a dam pig too. Trying to get if off feeders cuz thats all it eats right now cuz thats wat they had it on at the lfs. Its in a 30 right now. I kno its small but im just waiting til it gets a little bigger so i can put it in the 150 with the pbass. the pbass is like 7 inches and im pretty sure it will eat the pike it would probably look like a rosy red lol. the first day i was gonna try it but the bass hit the bag a couple of times trying to get at the pike so i was like nvm. Its pretty small tho compared to my other pike. I think i have a johanna or something, the orange is about the same length as the green pike but the green is like twice as thick as the orange. Thanks for the reply.
Yeah dude,get it off feeders,there so easy to anyway,but yeah pigs they are.Cool elastic stomach no?? When you gorge 'em they get all pot bellied,but fast 'em for a day after the bloodworm feast,because i've read about guys Pikes on here who kicked the bucket because a large Bloodworm meal was hard to digest.
