I dont know about all of them but did have a grass
pikeral a short while that ate beef pcs, along with
worms etc, in a very short time it would snap up
anything dropped into the tank.It adapted extremely
well.
I received it from a neighbor kids mother who was
horrifed when it ate the neon tetras, livebearers etc
in their community tank. They had brought it home from
a nearby lake after netting it in the grass along the
shore.
It was just about 7-8" but quite prettily marked and
for sure active. I held it for almost a month before
returning it to the same lake.
I'd keep a small group of them in a 55 or 75 in a
heartbeat. Lots of val, maybe a rock or two and you'd
have an attractive tank.
