Hey what type of pikes should I get????? The tank size will be 75 and they will be with a severum.
 
a saxatilis pike would probably be best cuz there alittle smaller but i think the lenticulatas and lacustris are awesome and gorgeous. if your looking for saxatilis pikes try to get in touch with shark aquarium, there a vendor on the forum. i think they just starting up there online business again. i was over there the other day and they have tons of sax pikes.
 
Sounds cool what do halfbanded pikes,saxatilis pike ,lenticulatas look like?? Can you please post pics??? Also are lenticulatas orange pikes??
 
lents arent orange pikes. orange pike = xingu I
look at this site for pictures of all the pikes.

not all are easy to get. id say the more common ones in the trade are:
sveni
xingu I = orange pike
johanna = red pike
lenticulata
lepidota
belly crawler
venezuelans

alot of pikes at lfs are labeled spangled pike and r usually some sort of saxatilis pike

Ok thanks. How big do orange pikes get?? I am considering a copule of them.
 
12-14 inches. if you lived in the great state of NJ, theres a store that has 3 baby orange pikes. but they shouldnt be to tough to find

Allright I think I have made my choice. I am going to get 2 orange pikes and a bellycrawler. So my 75 will be:
2x Orange Pikes
1x BellyCrawler Pike
1x turquoise severum
2x Balas
2x Silverdollars
There will be lots of filteration. Also in about 2-4 months be upgraded.
