Zebrina pike in 180 gallon

[Lazybum34]

I want to keep my zebrina pike in my 180 gallon with my oscar and my pseudopimelodus bufonius. Is that stock good for life?

Well thanks,I've kept oscar in the past but I don't recall having kept the other fish,I was never into pike cichlids so I'm not sure of their growth potential.The catfish could attempt to eat the pike at some point.

Zebrina pike cichlids prefer a strong current, with pH between 4 - 6 , and low nitrate (Preferably below the 5 ppm).
Whether or not the oscar will appreiciate the rheophillic conditions will be another story, oscars are found generally in in more placid flow areas, but in that size tank, you may be able to provide both zones.
