Just woundering I have heard that people have kept baby pike and muskie in big aquariums. Is that even posible. If so how do you get a hold of one. Has anyone ever had one 
i think people have kept them but i wouldnt know how to get ahold of one. i think pikes and muskies are bad ass lookin predators though and i wouldnt mind owning one, but they get to be pretty damn big so youd need a huge ass tank. where in so cal? camp pendelton
no out in the middle of no where 29 palms. ya my buddy wants one and we found a place to get them for tanks but they will not ship to cal. bc every thing is illegal in cal stupied
Like CM says, you'd need a huge tank for a muskie. Your best bet may be a chain or grass pickerel for anything smaller than a 300gal. A few of our sponsors carry them in the spring. But, you'll have a hard time getting anyone to ship these to you since they're prohibited in CA.
Here's the list so you can plan around it:

The best thing about California is that no matter the laws there is always somebody to break them
did you get busted. hope not. so what kind of fish do u have. i know i have some im not allowed to have but i got them from pet stores
Believe me, getting them from pet stores is no viable excuse to F&W. If you look back at some of my old threads, you'll see I was raided last summer. If you only have one or a couple of tanks, you're probably OK so long as you don't go showing them off or get someone mad enough at you to drop a dime on you. I have over 100 tanks in my personal collection and I own RCCR (Red-Claw Crayfish Ranch) with 12,000gallons worth of hatching and rearing bins.
I thought all personnel were relocated from 29 stumps to Miramar? Or, did they just move El Toro? I kinda lost track since I retired from the Navy (77-97).
