Is this a Pike or a Barracuda? I bought it as a pike.

Thanks,

Thanks. I'm not sure if that's good news or bad news. I guess either fish is cool but I was pretty pumped about getting a pike. Do both grow to be about the same size? And are both ferocious eaters?

Hepsetus Odoe, African Tiger Pike
up to 12"
might get eaten by the Tem
can be aggressive
eats mainly live but will take almost anything frozen or fresh.

If you are right, you made my day. I always wanted an African Tiger. Coming to think about it I do remember seeing something on the name tag to the effect of "Odoe Pike". Is this the same fish as an African Tiger Fish? Thanks!

its not an african tiger fish

 

[sicxspeed]

not an african Tiger fish at all........it is an african Pike.>>>>H. Odoe.....short lived, about 2-5 years and they get to about 18 inches, aggressive too. They should be fine with the Pbass for a while, they are really fast and are pursuit preds I believe. Nice teeth on them.

This is the wrong forum by the way. Your questions were answered else where as well. This forum is for Crencichla...........cichlid.

But good luck with this guy.
