Hey guys I have a 150g SA tank that is currently home to a 10" Oscar, 5" GT, 5" Firemouth, A 8" or so tire track eel, and a 9" Lima Shovelnose and a few bleeding heart tetras. I have been really considerng adding a Lenticulata Pike as my last addition and as a bit of a show piece. Was wondering what you guys thought or if anyone has done it. The oscar is very laid back along with the GT. The firemouth may be the most aggresive in there lol.
Lenticulata Mixing with Oscar

The lent will eat anything it can fit in its mouth, so your tetras will definitely disappear and after time your eel may be on the menu.
Depending on the set up, and how the lent is added to the tank, the GT and Firemouth might get picked on.
The oscar and shovelnose will probably be fine with the pike, depending on the attitudes of each fish and the pikes size.
Adding some large dithers might help, but once the pike gets over 12" there's gonna be some problems.
The tank isnt gonna be peaceful with a lenticulata in there, unless its a rare docile specimen.
I'd suggest removing the GT, Firemouth, and the eel...Getting 6 silver dollars, 4 lenticulata and your tank would be stellar. IMO anyways!
Good luck
