They look pretty small ? and yes all those fish that you named would be fine
to house a pike with in the 180 but watch for aggression pike can get (bossy) . What type of Pike did they say they are ? Orange Pike maybe ,

they are a lake Tanganyika species so they want 8.0ph and above and they arent large species,so 40 will be fine.

1st one looks like a Telmatochromis dhonti

your right, they grow 4.75, but be careful is one of the tanganyikas extremley aggresive fish, so dont house it with peacful fish

the second one seems to be another tang called neolamprologus leleupi these one get to the 5'' mark and its midley aggresive

dont think that gouramis will be good tankemates and nither the rams and will be an easy meal for the pbass and the aro

if you dont have space i'll take them off your hands.
