Looking for advice today, local shop had some nice 3-4" pikes. I am wondering if they (1) could go in my 120 with angels, keyholes, geophagus and lemon Tetras?

Post a picture of the pike so we can identify it. Pikes are preadtores so unless they are dwarf pikes, I can see your lemon tetras becoming a meal.

I could see dwarf pikes ilke compressiceps working with your stock. Any of the normally sized pikes will eat your tetras and maybe even keyholes when they put on some size.

Yes I used to have 1 and at 7" they have a very big mouth. Their head is massive and almost looks to big for the body. Kind of out of proportion.
