 Tigerfish, African Pike.....or BOTH?? - Piranha-Fury Forums
Stopped in at the LFS today and I'm very happy I did! They have a few 3" African Tigerfish (manager claims they're goliaths, but hard to tell for me), as well as a 4-5" African Pike (Hepsetus Odoe).
I've read that the pike can be rather aggressive towards tankmates (then again, the lfs manager said a friend owns one and it's large but very docile), and I've also read that the Tiger can be skittish when smaller, but eventually gets tougher.
A 240g definitely won't cut it long term for this sort of fish, but you'll have likely sold it or killed it by the time it reaches the 16-18" mark or so (where you would need to upgrade to something bigger than a 240g if you are interested in the welfare of the fish).
