Redfin Pickerel

[MultispeciesTamer]

Wow this is one crazy thread I can tell the mods still dont care much about us native guys on this forum (and I dont get on here much) . To the OP dont get a pickerel it is not compatible with the species you already have. It needs an unheated tank and one bigger or wider then the average 55 gal. Dont buy a fish if you plan to just give it away if it out grows your tank. My old Esox americanus grew to 6 inchs in the first few months. Esox americanus can and do reach sizes over 12 inchs.

So no do not get a pickerel .

Good to hear from you "Tamer", and yes the mods dont care at all....they havent even responded to several ideas and questions Ive asked them over the last few months, its very sad.

good to hear from you to Ill be poking around from time to time. Might do some updated tank shots tomorrow dwindled down to just a Green sunfish and a Red spotted sufish. The more time I spend on here the more I want to start re-expanding back.

I understand, I am waiting until we buy a house this spring to expand from a 39g to a 75g. I have plans for a Missouri Longear community tank with striped shiners and Checkered madtoms as the co-inhabitants. Does your Redspotted have the Blue crescent on it behind the gill?

That sounds great, I dont think it does.

I have never seen Redspotted with the crescent in the wild, but Zimmermans fish carries some like with the Blue crescent behind their gills; it looks pretty cool.
