Pike with rays

[gavigan1]

Has anyone kept pike with rays? How big do orange pike get?

Tried it and it was not good but I think it depends on your size ratios. Ive seen other members work it out nicely. Also depends on your pikes personality....

Spot on. There are quite a few members on here that have their pikes with their rays. Really does matter mainly on your pikes peronsality though, some pikes work, some don't.

Crenicichla sp. 'xingu I' get fairly large, with males pushing 14" easily.

Id be worried about the pike taking out the rays eyes.

Pikes like to steal food and nip tails.. not good in a ray tank.

A big adult ray and a big adult pike in something of the range of 400+gallons and lots of driftwood hiding spots would increase your chances 10 fold..

Scat has a pair of lents, AND some motoros in a 125gal. Crenicichla are no more aggressive than most SA/CA cichlids.

Like I said before, it can be done, and most of the time it does work out pretty good. You just have to observe your fish closely. Some pikes work, some don't.

Boggy....you speaking from experience or just making a hunch?
