i have a 55 gallon american cichlid grow out tank. currently i have a 3.5in green terror, a 3.5in texas, and two 2.5in jack dempsies. i also have 1 senegal bichir. i was wondering if i could put a pike in the mix. my main concern would be getting him food. i've seen these before but they are not as active as the fish i currently have. would getting them food be a problem. to give you an example, the only way to get my slow moving bichir food is to hand feed it beefheart.

by the way for water quality i have a penn-plax cascade 1000(rated for 100gallons). i also do at least a 25% waterchange per day. i don't think water quality will be an issue as long as the fish are less than 6 or 7in.

if a pike would be ok, what kind of pike would you suggest and what size?
 
u could put a sveni in it and i wouldnt worry for the most part about food cuz i had one in with my 2 jags and it would come out and shake the hunk of bloodworms like a pitbull. u should have no problem with it
