i have rte, rio blanco... i believe it called red tiger he is 6 inches still a baby. i have red devil cichlid female in there as well. same size..Most fish, Crenicichla or not, will attack and try to eat stuff that is small enough to fit in their mouth. Just a natural response I guess.
About the pike with the less aggressive fish, I don't see why not. I kept festivum, angels, Krobia sp. 'xingu orange spot', and several other nonaggressive fish with my pikes over the years. Just keep an eye on aggression. Everything should be alright though.
