new to pikes.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sorry, can't help yaz m8. Rapps mostly has in Lugubrius pikes right now. He does have in some scotti..but not to sure you would want that. Email John from East Coast Zoological Supply...hes in the buy sell...he gets in pikes a lot...got 4 of my 10 pikes from him...and they are exceptional...;)..3 are from Anthony, AnthonysTropicalFish..also in the Buy/Sell...and 3 are from Rapps. All of them are exceptional...but right now i think only John has the type of pikes you would want for that size of tank....ooor...you could just look...HERE:

"Nice pike in Strigata group, C. sveni".....a bit uneducated on pikes....but oh well...they are actually from the Saxatilis group..but whateva. Its not a bad price...so yeah...i would get more than one though to make up for the shippin..;)
 
who is rapps. i read about the scotti's they sound ok. what would be the perfect beginner pike? with exceptional color, and a lil on the aggressive side =).
 
well the thing is i live on the third story of a lil apartment in midcity l.a. (most densely populated city west of the mississippi. soooooo. i cant get a bigger tank =/ i mean if i could i would just sleep on the floor. and have a huge wide acrylic set up that just took up my whole living room =)
 
oh yah thanks alot peanut_power you've been alot of help. i finally got anthonys number today. i called but his dad got my number and never gave me a call back well maybe ill just drive out there and see him. i dont know call me old fashioned but i dont believe in shipping fish. i kinda wanna pick out my baby and raise that sucka. know what i mean?

Get Crenicichla regani :dwarf pike



Dwarf pikes are a great fish to keep. Also regani are reasonably peaceful. Plus they breed ok :thumbsup:
