well i am goin to upgrade the old 135 to a 240-300 and i want to put 2 pikes in there 1 cobra 1 marmorata both about 7-8inches could this work??
 
I have a Marm and a Ven together in a 210. About to go into a 450.
 
Sometimes pikes can be aggressive towards each other. Try it and be ready to move 1 if they don't get along.
 
I have seen some members here keep them together without issues. The PBass will eventually get quite a bit larger. Really depends on the tank footprint.

do pikes get along with p bass?

Mine do for the moment. I have 2 tanks 1 with 3 nice size monos from approx 10"-15" with a pike approx 12", the other a tem approx 9" with a pike approx 7". So far so good.
 
Don't know bout a marm/cobra combo - are they diff sexes? if so - - - maybe, . . at 7"-8" size they might tolerate each other in a big tank, and possibly co-exist together. Dither fish help a lot!

Clgkag ~ some pics of our female marm + male ven - an improbable pair that did well together for a long time. We still have the marm, now 14" about 6 years old.
