Lenticulata or marmorata. Most pikes aren't too aggro. They are predatory and aggro to conspecifics, but not outright aggro like a red devil or a managuense....

Except for lenticulata and marmorata.

Mrrobxc I've seen them at 16 inches and some claim to have 17 inchers (unverified). That's only if they're an older male, females top out at around 14 inches. My old Xingu 1 male was over 16 inches. People always say max size is 10-12 for X1 it just ticked me a little even tho it's only a few inches off but idk lol. It's a max size 14 is more average I guess not a max I guess lol
