Pike Tank Help??? :(

I want to get into keeping Northern Pike but I heard they get pretty big. Can I keep one in a 180gal? It would be in with a couple common plecos and maybe a 6-7in Festae. They're really pretty, I want one soooooo bad!!!

You will get a better response if you move this thread to the Native forums. 180g for a northern pike is much too small. They can get 3' long.

Northern pike also require colder temperatures. South American cichlids require the high 70 - low to mid 80s.
