have raised a couple pikes before by far my favorite cichlids... in that case can one of you helpful admins guide me on the best pike i can choose,,, looking for an aggressive pike that doesnt just sit around looking for one that can live in a 55gal for aWHILE and upgrade when needed... for the record this pike will be the big daddy of his tank and will only get recommended tankmates

What type of pike are you lookin for? There are several species available to the hobby today, mainly Saxatilis or Lugubris group pikes. Jeff Rapps sells a good assortment of pikes, and right now has a vary large variety in....

Are you wanting aggression? Color? Attitude? Size? That will help in pointing us in the right direction of where you wanna go in your search for your next pike!! ;) BTW...where in Washington do you live? I know of a few LFS in the Kennewick, Pasco, Richland area that regularly get in some nice pikes! ;)
 
how many 55's do you have? Is this the one with the pleco Trimac and other fish? It's fine if it is but you seem to be misleading when describing your situation if you only have the one tank. Just be honest about it if so.

Also I'm not following you around lol I just read most posts on this site :)
 
originally i posted this before igot a new fish but i have alredy gotten a juvenile trimac but in the future i would like to get a nice large aggressive pike any suggestions??? for when i get another tank, gonna be looking for an ACTIVE, AGGRESSIVE, pike that will get anywhere between 8inch and 12 inch also would like to put 1 or 2 tankmates with it.... what would be the best specimen???? mainly wanting an ACTIVE pike that will swim around tank

Almost all species of pikes will swim around and investigate the tank as long as they feel comfortable. Try gettin lenticulata or marmorata though, they are definately lookers...;)
