I need help with stocking!

[scarhbar]

I've kept two pikes in the past, and I'm looking to try out a Saxatilis Pike! I hear these guys stay under 10", and are fairly aggressive.

My tank is a 75 gallon, with no fish, large pieces of driftwood, large amazon swords, and plenty of hiding spaces. If I were to put 1 Sax in the tank, would any other cichlids possibly work? I was thinking of something near the same size, so I thought of Salvinis and Green Terrors. Would either of those fish work in a 75 gallon with a Sax?

Not sure yet, just getting ideas! Need some input

I have a 7" female saxitilis in my 55 with my green Texas of the same size a small Ebjd and a big Pleco so you could definitely put some cichlids in your 75 with it

In my secound tank, I have a pike cichlid with two golden sev's. Sorry if this doesnt help.

I think any of those would work. I like too add a few larger community fish to the tanks as well. Sometimes if you just have a pike and two other cichlids, I'll find they the weakest one will get picked on the most. I think a few large community fish help lessen the aggression. I usually use silver dollars for this.
