Piharasia Pike Courses

Piharia Pike is a species of freshwater fish from the family Cyprinidae, native to Korea and Japan. The fish are silver with dark blue vertical stripes and have large eyes, upturned snouts and scale patterns on their sides. They grow to an average length of 6-10 inches, with some individuals growing to 12 inches or more. Piharia pike are active predators, mostly eating smaller fish, as well as crustaceans and other aquatic invertebrates. They also feed on plant material. This species is found in a wide range of habitats, including both fast-flowing and slow-flowing streams and small ponds. They are considered aggressive and are not ideal for community tanks. However, they are popular among experienced aquarists due to their hardiness and rapid growth. Piharia pike need clean and well-oxygenated water of slightly acidic to slightly basic pH (6.5 to 8.5). They should be kept in tanks with plenty of rocks and other structures to hide and provide protection. Add live plants, sand or gravel as substrate to make a suitable environment for the fish. Ensure that the tank is at least 55 gallons and is properly filtered. A large canister filter is ideal for this species. They should be fed a variety of frozen, live and dry foods. Piharia pike are an attractive and active species that can make an interesting addition to the aquarium. They are best suited for those with some experience in caring for freshwater fish. With the right care and good water conditions, this species can be kept in the home aquarium for many years.
