Odoe pike owner. Anyone else

[Mako_the_odoe]

Hello. He is currently with 2 hujetas. He doesn't care for them at all. He used to be housed with more when the tank was bigger but now, he is the king of this tank.

They are very nice and beautiful fish to own.

Cool fish, I've actually been pretty interested in them lately and may work on getting one. What size tank is it in? Any other tank mates besides the bichir?

I don't have one currently but I have kept a few at different times over the years,another member has or had a small group of them.

They're awesome fish to keep.

Was going to ask what it was grown out in - looks as if it was raised in a good sized tank (much larger then 120)

I remember it being said these fish only live 5 years or less. I believe I've had 2 groups that lived longer. Current group now is probably 7-8 years old.

One of the most underated fish out there. I absolutely love them. Watching a group take turns feeding is always a great adventure.

The fish in this thread is one of the nicer specimens I've seen - looks perfect. Great job with him! He's mint!

I misread your post and thought your fish were no longer with you. Wish mine would get to that age. Got pics of them?

Update of Mako. After feeding. Realized he doesn't like tilapia as much as shrimp.

Thank you brother. He is around 12-13 inch mark. I can't be sure as I only compare him to my bichir which is 14 inches at the moment.
