So my 180g SA tank currently has a group of Satanoperca, a couple angels, sevs, chocolates, C. Myersi and a pair of 6-7" Venezuelan pikes. Most of the fish are still fairly small and everyone is MOSTLY getting a long, but I realize this is too crowded long term. I have quite a few other tanks, including a 125g that I just bought, so the only thing that is going to be left in the 180g is the Myersi, pikes and possibly the largest chocolate (around 5").

This is going to be a fairly nippy (but not particularly territorial to this point) group of fish that are all going to get pretty big. Looking for ideas on what else could go with them as I don't have a lot of experience with the larger south american's. Interesting behavior/looks are key. Some ideas I had were silver dollars, oscar, or a hoplarchus psittacus.
 
Don't those pikes grow to like 16"+? I'm not knowledgeable on them, but I thought those were the largest of pikes.
