Small Predatory Fish

[The-Wolf]

hrmm, really interesting fish. when i asked my lfs if they could order some, they didnt even know what it was.... is it rare or something?

goes by a few common names most commonly sold as a pike topminnow
not rare per say just not often seen in shops.

I think 20 gallons is recommended, but the prehistoric monster fish (Lol) is pretty predatory - also quite boring

by small i mean like able to fit into a 10 or 18 gallon. the bigger it is the better though i want it to be able to handle a large night crawler and if it can handle another fish like a small silverside or something, thatll be better. i already have plenty of betta =) i was thinking about a leaf fish, but i dont really like feeding live fish to other fish. dwarf pikes seem interesting though. i would get a bichir, but they require at least a 29 long. do you guys know how much a dwarf pike usually goes for?

How about an African Spotted Climbing Perch (Ctenopoma acutirostre - sometimes called an african leaf fish). I feed mine bloodworms right now and she has even started eating dry flakes. She's a juvenile now, and I'd prefer her to be a community fish, but if you raised one to be predatory it probably would be.

Here's what they look like:

Leaf fish?

Look up Spotted Bush Fish. Thats what you mean.

EDIT: That is the fish above. I have one of those. Lovely fish, I'll post a pic later!
