When you say regular pickerel do you mean Grass pickerel? If so, I think you'll find the two nearly identical. A little more red in the fins of a redfin.
I also wouldn't expext either redfin or grass pickerel to exceed the 10"-12" mark in home aquaria.
Grass and redfins probably won't get bigger than 12" but sometimes do, especially if you give them a cold "season", like pikes the return of the warmth stimulates growth, chain pickerel get a bit bigger maxing out at around 30", They need a good turning radius so even a 12" one should have at least 20" turning radius to keep long term. the pics are chain, redfin, and grass pickeral.
i'd have to check the measurements of the 68, so i might just go to lowes and pick up something larger, ive got my sights set on the red-fin, and i think i might just stick with one. dont think they like each other. what kind of filtration should i be looking for. and from reading up on these guys, they do like warmer temps, 75-80
.. Will someone remind me to look at the dates on these posts, Im an avid reader, bu am not used to having to look at what looks like a new post for the date stamp.
