Sveni one of the most common pikes but also one of my favorite

damn got yourself a small clown knife? or just an overly aggressive pike? neither of my pike bother either one of my african brown knifes... yet

he's about the same size as the pike. about 6"+. i think i'll do a nice planted 40G for the pike. and let the knife get some size on him, then try the pike in the 75G again. my clown knife is all black, he doesn't have any spots. is that rare?

a black clown knife? doesnt sound like a clown knife. sure its not an african brown or a black ghost? does it have a white tip on its tail?

pike get more aggressive as they get older and larger. and a 40 isnt big enough for a sveni, if the pike doesn't get along with the knife now then when you try to put it back in with it you're gonna have carnage.

i got a empty 60G too. will that do?

should be 90 or up, but a 60 will do temporarily. should wind up getting around 10" so a 60 is kind of cramped.

and a clown knife can get 36" so a tank with a giant footprint is a must.
