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.
 
really depends on the individual fish your adding. I am amazed that those tetras are surviving with the shovel nose and that oscar. a pike would definitely kill/eat them. IMO i wouldn't add a bottom dwelling pike with the eel.
 
Ya kind of surprised too,cant say id miss them either but those bleeding hearts are pretty huge. The Lima will not even touch live food like nightcrawlers while the eel will be all over them. The Lenticulata is a bottom dweller?
 
lents are very very agressive i had two that were 7-8" and grew to about 11-12" and would wreck havoc on my community. nothing would stand up to them, they are beautiful though
