Belly crawler pike cichlid

Using the first website you showed me the pike would be between 2-3 inches. All of the other fish would be smaller except the green terror. Would this be a problem?
I have kept Belly crawlers with similar size cichlids to the ones on your list without problems.
Whether or not the danios would make it, depend on their size compared to the pike, same with the bichir.
I found Belly crawlers usually ignore taller flat bodied cichlids, and vice versa.
took about a year from mine to go from slight over an inch, to about 7"

The place that I am getting them from has them when they are small. The belly crawler would be about an inch bigger than everything except the green terror. I know the danios might not make it.

One word of warning, in the bag pictured above there were 10 belly crawlers, they were added to a 6 ft 100+gallon tank, and within about 2 weeks, the largest one ate all the others, it was a female.
I had picked the bag up at a GCCA (Greater Chicago Cichlid Assn) auction, and a friend of mine bought another bag of 10 the same day, and had a similar experience, only he was left with a male. At about 6 " he gave me his male, at that point they didn't bother each other, originally we were both hoping to end up with a pair.

Ok
I will probably get the belly crawler after the other fish grow to a size where they can’t be eaten. I am only getting one so they won’t fight with other belly crawlers.

A 4” belly crawler couldn’t eat a 4” danio but an 8” one could. Mine has gone from 3”-6.5” in about a year and still growing, and he has a huge wide head. Other than the danios, you’re fine in a 180. Here’s a vid of my belly crawler
