Going to be dwarfs if you are keeping them in the 30gal.
Crenicichla regani
Crenicichla notophthalmus
Crenicichla compressiceps
Those are the more common ones. You might be able to get away with Crenicichla proteus in there as well.
As for a grow out, with enough filtration, you could keep some Lugubris/Saxatilis group pikes in there for about four months before they start pushing the boundaries.

I've heard about dwarfs but can't find much info on them and very few youtube videos. I did see one video of a breeding pair and fry. One had like a black o on its top find outlined in yellow or something. Trying to find something predatory and colorful. But I like the way pikes r shaped.
Just not very many pikes coming in yet, you'll have to be patient or keep looking around.
Keep your eye peeled on aquabid. They often have goodies for sale.
Main person bringing in pikes currently is John (snookn21) so you might want to check with him. HTHs.
