Hi all, I have a chance to order a cincta from the wet spot ($12) and a local breeder has turquoise serverum for $7. Would these be ok together in a 300 with other SA's (GT, Oscar, sailfin pleco, arowana)? The only thing I have now for this setup is the pleco, I'm planning on getting this new tank this summer, I have a 100 for grow-out right now. I don't want to add them to any of my other tanks but I need to know if this is really doable. BTW can anyone give me some info on the cincta, I googled but I know that you guys have real world experience.

i would assume its doable, so long as the pike doesn't outgrow the sev to the point it would fit in its mouth. I don't really know much at all about pikes though.
 
I find pikes are mostly aggressive with each other, and other cichlids that look similar ( more streamlined Parachromis for example).
More high bodied fish are ignored.
