These are the "orange pikes" I bought yesterday. Can I get some ID help? Thanks for all replys. They are 3.5-4.5'' and get along well with the svenis and cons.

Yup, just good old fashioned Xingu I. They look a little pale. Get them on a good diet and they should light up to a bright orange.
Xingu I 'Orange Pike' ~ healthy lookin & chunky! Hope you get a pair... Females can be really beautious . . . . reddish mid-section & brilliant white dorsal stripe. Careful with those sveni's, the orange pikes will trash them at some point ~ just a matter of time!........

EXACT same thing I was thinkin!! Saxatilis pikes generally don't do well with Lugubris pikes in the long run. It might work, but with the pikes you have...i HIGHLY doubt it. Its best to research before you buy your pikes, as some are more aggressive than others. The ones you got...'xingu I'...are among some of the most aunry of pikes available. Many people have to house them as single or pairs in a tank...can be annoyin. Just a heads up that once they hit subadult there will be a lotta aggression.
I'm kinda treading that water too. I have a Sveni and Xingu I in my 125.
Sveni is the bully for now but the orange is an eating machine.
