Dwarf Pike

[Andy16]

Could i keep a dwarf pike in a 20 gallon tank with plants? I inspired myself on this one.....

I had a pike before i knew much about them, adn i got rid of it when i found out how big it got. ( i gave it to the lfs) Anyways, i loved it, it ahd an awesome personality. It was fun watching it ambush the other fish, even though they werent meant to be eaten, it was still sorta cool. Now i want a dwarf, but didnt know if it would work.

I think that it would be okay in a planted tank but you'd be better off asking this in Cichlids...

OH shoot, that was dumb of me Can a mod move this on over to cichlids?

Thanks chil.

 

[ChilDawg]

No prob...too bad I'm not a mod (yet?) or I could help you with that...

 

[Andy16]

A mod??? Any mod??? COuld some one please move this? Thanks

 

[Andy16]

Well, not that this is moved(thanks whoever did it) i was thinking about crenicichla compressiceps. ANother thing, could i keep both a female and male without aggresion towards eachother?

I'd provide a bunch of hiding places, but, if these fit in a 20, I think that it may work well. Just make sure to keep an eye on them.

Thanks chil, i think i made that post like 2 minutes ago, lol that was quick.

No prob. I try to help ASAP...

I know that dwarf pikes are supposedly much less aggressive than standard pike cichlids...

They arent actually dwarfs, becasue they are to aggresive to be considered one. They just call them dwarfs becasue they are small. Anyways, i dont know what i want, a community, or a species. I need more info on these to decide because the pikes are all i am interested in.
