Tilapia at Fish Story

[TeeHawk]

TeeHawk are the pike killifish rare in the trade? I see a lot of them here because they like to be at the surface. IDK for sure but I am guessing they are non-natives.

Unfortunately I don't ship fish, never have, especially international, or I'd try to ship you some.

I have never seen them at a store nor on a fish list, so they are definitely rare(at least here in Ontario, Canada). And I appreciate the thought

First day seemed peaceful but now I see potential problems, maybe?

Bad call, bad watch on my part... We had raised 2 adult tilapia 21inch Nile and Blue in the "less aggressive" 4500 gal for 5 years, who were complete and brazen hogs and outcompeted everyone for feed all the time. So thought to try the new Nile adult in the jumbo 4500 gal hoping that the size, smarts, and attitude might save it, but only to have it killed by the big catfish on the third day. The sneaky cats managed to fool me and did their damage when I wasn't looking and when I noted the damage, it was too late, the tilapia hasn't recovered from the stress in QT.
