New to pike cichlids

[Dagon's Progeny]

I am interested in getting a pike for my 125gal but I don't really know too much about them and wasn't sure if my tank is even big enough. I have owned a Crenicichla compressiceps in my 60gal when I was in high school but have zero experience otherwise. I currently have a few other South America cichlids, an African knife, and a sleeper goby. From what I've seen in my friend's tanks, most pikes get pretty big. Am I limited to dwarf pikes with my setup? Cichlids are one of those things that have such a huge amount of information online it cam be kind of overwhelming. I'm looking for one that can is colorful but not exorbitantly priced. Any suggestions are welcome.

Check out a lenticulata. Great color and personality

You can look at dwarf pikes and any of the saxatalis pikes. Svenis are pretty much available and not a bad starter.
