pike

Question
i have a fresh water 4" Pike I can put him in 1 of 2 tanks
75 gallon with 4 Oscars 4-8" or
30 gallon with 2 Jack Demsey's 4" & 8"
which tank would the  Pike be better in

Answer
Hi Robert,
 By "pike" I assume you mean a native North American pike, i.e., Esox lucius.  
I can see you having trouble with putting that pike in either tank.  If you put it in the oscar tank, the odds are very good that the oscars will eat, or at least try to eat, the pike. It may not be today, or tomorrow, but sooner or later you are going to walk in to find that pike part way down the throat of one of the oscars.  

 The pike might fare a little better with Jack Dempseys but they are in a pretty small tank, so again I think there are going to be big problems.
