Does any aquarist (preferably locally in Saskatchewan)
have any Hepsetus odoe (African Pike Tetra) that are
overgrowing their aquariums and may want to part with
these fish for this or any other reason?

Is there anybody breeding this fish in North America?

not very common in the aquarists trade, maybe getting a fishing rod and
try
your luck in a lake somewhere, maybe you'll get lucky...

The scientific name you give, and the african pike tetra, seem to be
different fish, but similar

Non community fish, so good luck finding them....

Thank you, for your support...




See the book "Tetras and Other Characins" by Mark Phillip
Smith, he refers to Hepsetus odoe as African Pike Tetras.

And thankyou for your support. Let us use these
fish groups to promote the hobby, and try to
work together in peace. -Daryl S. Kabatoff

You do realize that books may have mistakes in them.
I've seen in a few Betta books where it claims that the male "squeezes" the
eggs out of the female....simply not true.
I've seen it written that you can never house female Bettas in with a male
(certain *must have/do's come into play..sure), but that is not true.
I've even seenit the name misprinted as "beta" in books.
Just because you've seen it in one book doesn't make it 100% concrete fact.
If you have a disprecancy, do a little more searching....you may find very
different info.
