I have a 125 gallon tank with a Bumblebee Oscar that is 4-5 inches long, a green terror that is 4-5 inches long, an ornate bichir thatis probably 7-8 inches long and a small pleco. What species of Pike cichlid would be the best fit as I think a dwarf species would be too small and one of the larger ones would be much too big. Since some of you guys know alot about pike cichlids I was wondering which one would be the best fit for my tank?
What species of Pike Cichlid should I be looking for?

Pike and bicher might fight for cave but if you buy pike I think you should buy mine. I ship
It will be a big risk adding any territorial aggressive bottom dwellers with any Polypterus because bichir from my experience don't defend themselves against harassing territorial cichlids.
I have what I believe is a lenticulata or "spotted face" pike , got him as a buddy for my Oscar , they get along great and grow around the same rate so far (under 6"), the pike should reach 12-16inch I believe, since they r juveniles they r in a 40breeder grow out but a 125 will be there forever home. There is someone on YouTube with the same pike I have and an O both adult in a 125, if I can find it I will send the link I believe it is adequate space granted maintenance, # and size of tank mates etc.
