Would any of these pikes work with my stock?
Pikes:
Lenticulata Pike (Jacunda Pike Cichlid)
Tapajos Red Pike
Zebra Pike Cichlid
orange xignu (Orange Pike Cichlid)
Strigata Pike Cichlid
Stock I am considering when I start fresh in my 300 g:
1x clown knife
7x large clown loaches (7"-10" each)
1x datnoid
6x large red-tail blue botia loaches
1x leopard ctenopoma
3x severums
1x fat sleeper goby
1x jaguar catfish OR 1x striped raphael catfish
5x bala sharks
2x endlicheri bichir
2x ornate bichir
I am going to keep the loaches on my list. When I eventually get rid of the rest of the fish in my tank, this is the stocking I was looking at putting in my tank, starting my fish out small. I was thinking of adding one of the pike species listed. Would any of them work with my fish, or would the pike be too aggressive? I never use feeders in my tank.
Also, one more thing, whenever I put cichlids in my tanks, I always make sure they are all the same gender to avoid breeding pairs even across species to avoid extreme aggression. I've never kept pikes before, though. Would a severum and a pike cross breed if they are the opposite gender?
