oscar & venezuala

[bill hundt]

I have a 180 (6 by 2 by 2). I want to get a larger tank 8 ft 30 in 30in or so. What will go with the Oscar large venezuala, a foot long lives in 3 inch pvc and it almost out grown it. 4 silver dollars, 2 raphael cats and a large gibbiceps pleco 12 inches or bigger

Ummm..is it a venezuelan Oscar or a Oscar and a sp. 'venezuela' pike? I am a little confused on that part. In a tank that large, your could practically put any pike in there you wanted...IF you didn't already have a pike in there. If you DO already have an adult pike in there...its gonna be a little bit more difficult for you to add any other pikes.

It can be done, but its not very often that it is accomplished with out lost fish.... Best bet would be to add a GROUP of subadult to adult pikes...which will be expensive, not to mention difficult to find as most pikes are sold as juv. Addin them at the same time though will help to break up the aggression and increase the odds of them gettin along.
