New PikeHead

[Zeppelin3k]

Here is a PikeHead that i just picked up today, also called a crocodile pike. I have not seen one before but i did ask the LFS owner about him. If anyone else has experiences with this fish or knows about it i would like to hear some input

They are AWESOME!!!

I had several, but each one "suddenly died" after having it for several months - they would do very well right up to that moment.
I wonder if anyone else has had this happen. They ate only live fish.

also only eats feeders, hoping to break the habbit

Its cool to know that they are related to bettas as they are anabantoids!

Santoury- Any other info to give me? the book at the lfs said 7" and non agressive.

 

[santoury]

They were not aggressive - but I didn't keep them with much. 7 inches sounds about right, but mine were approx 5 inches, and as I said, they didn't last past a few months. They basically just hover around in one spot, moving from time to time. I really enjoyed them.
