Ok folks here is an interesting question i pose to you... My cousin is looking to get rid of his African Pike due to the pike and the wolf fish not getting along so well and the pike winning alot, and he likes the wolf better? dont know why! So it peaks my interest, now he is looking to get a peacock bass... i have 4 of them. my biggest concern would be would i see any issue with this fish in my tank with:
3 Mono's ranging in size
1 small Orino
1 9" florida/spotted gar
1 6-7" jurapri
 
dunno but i love pikes... im growing out to put in my cichla tank.. as for the other fish i say the orinos and monos are fine. im not sure about the other fish bc i never had them together in the same tank .. i only give advise for what i have done first hand
 
at the lfs down the street they have a VERY handsome pike that i want desperately..

i've seen various peacock bass and even some freshwater baracuda in the tank with him.. and i've never seen him do anything to anyone in the tank and even the toothy fish leave him alone.
 
Hmm i thought some pikes just like ate anything that was big enough to get into their mouths?
 
ok then i guess i should do it
 
I Had one that was 12" but he jumped out my tank after i cleaned it and forgot to put one of my sliding glass tops across :-(
