Anyone had experience mixing smaller snake heads (specifically bleheri) with pike?

Considering adding 1 to my 180 with my only concern being my 6 inch atabapo pike seeing as they are both slender territorial fish.

The tank is heavily planted and has a pvc cave network covered by rocks and driftwood.

Other stock includes various predetory but otherwise not aggressive fish.

Your atabapo will attack the bleheri simply because it is the same shape. Whether or not it will win, it just depends on the snakehead. SA pikes will go through great lengths hunting down other similar looking fish.

Expected that answer, just kind of hoped for a few success stories that might change my mind ahaha.
