Bullhead catfish maybe, perhaps some kind of sunfish.

Thanks but I think it will be a bit to warm for them because it is a tropical pike.

Big Eartheaters (Satanoperca, Geophagus) and other peaceful south American Cichlids (Heros, Uaru, ...). Big Plecos, bigger Pimelodus catfis (for example Ornate Pim), bigger characins (Silver Dollar...).
I would not risk adding fish smaller than 3 inch (5 inch for slender fish like Twig Catfish).

Look where you are: Forums Advanced Aquaria Discussion Forum Cichlids Crenicichla (Pike Cichlids)
Here pike = Crenicichla

Scientific names are helpful when asking questions.

Also, what sized tank?

Sadly I do not know the scientific name because it was sold as a wild but crenichla sveni is what someone said!
