Well he chases them around,even if their not in his cave, bites their eyes bites their body the other fish had some split tails,right now the pike is in a 60gallon tank bro my 150 broke that led me to have to sell minion my fahaka puffer that was in the 60gallon wen the 150 broke I moved the lent to the 60g. And had to buy a 30gallon ASAP to put minion in it till I found him a good home luckily I ran into greenbird007 again and he was really excited for minion he drove the instant I told him,now he's really happy with him,I won't be getting a 150g if not bigger till taxes bro

Lents get HUGE, mine are in a 125 for now. I haave 2 lents, 2 cinctas a leporinus, ornatum and firewood catfish and they have plenty of room and cover at the moment. You might want to consider leving him in 60 alone for now, but what kind of pikes did you try to add?

so anyone up to IDing them for me?
Top one looks like a Cr. lucius ... the bottom almost looks like a Cr. dorsocellata the way the dorsal spot is, but the head is too blury to tell. The area they come from isn't collected commerically anymore, and with Brazil's export laws, I doubt that's what it is. Not sure really on the bottom one.
