looks to be the two spot pike cichlid/Crenicichla lepidota, however I'm IDing pikes isn't my strong point.
Might want to get that tetra in the pic out of there!
Seven doesn't seem bad.

nice pick up i would get one for $7

the tetras are cycling/food fish so they can stay the tank is gonna be an oddball predator style tank has a tire track eel the pike and eclipse catfish. And the two spot is kinda what i found out while researching

 

[Scatocephalus]

Cr. sp. "Belly Crawler"

 

[fishfarm]

Not lepidota, common Columbia pike, I'd go with C. gaeyi , belly crawler has thiner striations, they come in mixed together in Colombian shipments. Ken

I'm going with belly crawler as well, the 'striping' pattern isn't solid enough to be gaeyi (imo), unless I had two gaeyi and didn't know it.

Odds are good that fishfarm ken, would know better then me, just looks like what I used to have.

Belly Crawler, IMO

NVM about what i said. After looking at it a little better it could go either way since i'm no expert in ID'ing. i see it has color in its fins that i don't normally see bellycrawlers have.

doesnt have the spot on his tail like the one from tangled up in cichlid, the two spot looks identical to mine. but this is my first pike so i have no idea
