You can go with the red tail barracuda it will never attack a crenicichla
You can also add a catfish like pesudopimelodus bufonius

Red tail barracudas don’t get large and can be a tempting target for the zebrina when they get full grown. Also, as mentioned on the other post, a 120 will be cramped. That said, it’s your tank and your money.

As for predatory tankmates, if you really like characins, a Bicuda get large enough and stay at the top so it’ll work. You’ll want a much larger tank for them though.

General tankmates that work are plenty. Zebrina won’t necessarily go looking for trouble, but they can dish it out if challenged. They don’t like other bottom dwelling fish much, but usually leave other non cylindrical bottom dwellers alone.

Personally I believe wolffish are a bad idea. Smaller ones like the red or rainbow old will get harassed, while larger ones can inflict serious damage on the pikes.
