I have a (not how you spell it but close)--> "silvi" Pike, It is very shy, if i go near the tank he backs into his hiding area 100% of the time, I have to leave the dried krill on the top of the water for atleast 15-20 minutes and be away from the tank if I want him to eat,... ANY suggestions on making him or her ( I D/K) more easy going? ( but still viscous)
 
Well, you've got it in a 20gal tank, correct? First, upgrade the tank to at least a 55gal tank, then add some plants, caves, and driftwood. Next add some dithers like silver dollars, firemouths, stuff like that. Its natural for a fish to want to hide when a huge animal sticks its face close to the tank. It'll get used to you eventually, pikes are pretty good at recognizing their owners....give it time.

Crenicichla sveni is how you spell it..;)
