one grass pickerel (if you can obtain one) would be fine as well. some only get to about 8-9 inches as an adult. i feel this is fine for a 30 gallon. good filtration, frequent water changes, and dense plants would make any esox feel at home in such a tank.

What is the rationale for this? Isn't this the basis for hatcheries?

personally, not that i have ever done it, i do not see the harm of releasing a pike after a few months of observation in an aquarium back into it's native water (point of origin). perhaps that is a reflection of my ignorance.
i know when i was at the university of michigan, the fish that we caught in the field and studied for a semester were released back into the wild after a few months.
for the record, i respect NANFA's official stance.

The odds are, nothing would happen after a few months of observation but you know what happens when you play with odds. If you play them enough, you're certain to lose at some point.
