Re: Apisto Predators
Dave..............you'll have one fat, happy dwarf-pike
left..............trust me! I use to every now and then see Vinny Kutty's
pike tanks when they were feeding.........NO CHANCE!!!..............;-) The
pikes are true predators, not just fish that eat fish that happen to wander
by! I'd give the odds at 2-1 that they wouldn't last 2 weeks.
...............I'm having fun here............but I really don't think you
have ever seen a pike when he's hungry.......talk about efficient killers!
