who keeps pickerel and pikes?

[nick]

i currently have a 12in northern pike and 3 chain pickerel in my pond (8-16in) i feed chopped shrimp and feeders constantly while tryign to grow them out a bit more for sale


who keeps them with chock full of stick tanks (so they can go into ambush mode) and get them into a full scale wild situation

i love watching them hunt and chill while i play loud music , nothign phases them

i saw the emerald morph of americanus... that was awesome...

i really want to get one esox for my comm tank. So far only muskies have been imported here.... too big for my 6ft setup...

pickerels can get along with other big predatory fish?

pickerels and pikes are very docile, like gars. Very prone to getting harassed and bullied by more aggressive tankmates, if said tankmates feel like harassing them...

as long as the tankmates are not of edible size i guess...
