Pike ID!

$80 for that size is good. Rapps has them for that size at $95.

Lents get 12-14", and can cause considerable chaos inside of a tank. Not sure the size of your tank, but I hope you have plenty of dithers. Silver Dollars work great, but they'll need to be large.

You'll need to wait a week or two before all the color comes in, give some place to hide from the light but not hide from you and your fish will relax quickly.

Good luck, and congrats on a great fish!

Thanks bro! i'll wait a few weeks.

Is it just me or does it look skinny? My pike isnt even that big and is fat as ever. Ive never seen pikes that large that skinny before. Maybe its the species.

If he just got the pike from a LFS, they havent been feeding them as much as they could be.

Mine look pretty skinny after their purging days, but after a couple NLS or Massivore pellet that pike will plump up fast.

@ Alglasswps

I'm not sure about your tank setup, but my lents really enjoy steady current through the tank. It gives them a workout, and helps them get rid of the fat stomachs after feeding. Adding a powerhead or adjusting your filtration output carefully could make every fish in your tank much happier.
