I was wondering if any of y'all know what tankmates can co exist with murray cod. (Fish that live in cold waters). I'm thinking of either a pike or siberian taimen along with a sturgeon. What are your opinions? This will be my cold water Fish tank so I have no idea of what I'm doing lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
 
I have a small Murray Cod growing out.It eats pellets and lies on the bottom ignoring everything else.Unless it's behavior changes as it grows I'm guessing it won't bother anything that it cannot eat.Also,this is the first I have heard of them living in cold water.

I live in Thailand and it is very hot and humid. Perfect for tropical fish. Can't say the same for places with water temps of 25 or lower. I've known people who have tried to keep them without a cooler but they end up dying at around 6-7 inches. So I'm going all in with a chiller and an 800 gallon tank with proper filtration.
