Thanks man, I'm glad I bought them. They're 5-5.5 inches, I don't want to get sds because they would destroy the plants. I was thinking a juruense cat, some azuls or some wc severums or maybe some panda uaru. I do like the fire eel idea though

All those sound like great ideas. If u can find some try some striped bass or small mouth bass. Smb really remind me of coral rock cod groupers.

I'm loving how these guys are turning out, but boy are they some thugs lol. I ordered a juruense and a vulture cat to add with them but it didn't work out. I was at work when they arrived so I had my wife add them....well long story short one of the pikes attempted to eat the juruense even though it was the same size, and all three of them beat the crap out of the vulture cat. The juruense didn't make it and the vulture had to be separated.

Thanks, they have a ways to go before they're mature enough but absolutely.

I will redo my 180 for them lol. If the 180 is too small I will pass.

Lol, 180g is plenty, but you'll upgrade eventually I'm going to peer pressure you into it

Finally have tankmates with these guys, I added 5 geophagus abalios, a heros liberifer, and I put the vulture cat back in and so far so good.
