I have a 150g with 1 male festae, 1 loisellei, 1 jag and 3 severums. The only aggressive behavior comes from the severums. Would a Pike be an optional tankmate? More specificaly one of the lents that Rapps has? How big and aggressive would I expect one to be? Can they be kept in the same water chemistry? Thanks in advance, btw, all fish are between 5-6" I believe the fish Rapps has is between 7-9
 
What are the dimensions on your 150? If it is a 4fter you may have aggression problems already when that festae and jag mature. My lent usually ignores the other cichlids as long as they stay away from his driftwood. Might be a tight fit in a 4 ft tank.
 
Anyone? I read they like soft acidic water, how important is the hardness? My water tends to be hard pH floats right around 6.5-7
 
I'd go for it. IMO, MTN_PIKE (americancichlids.net) has the nicest lent variant right now...Rio Orinoco, but they're larger and more money than Rapps and probably more to ship.
