Sorry man, ya didn't put it in the pike forum so I didn't really see it. There are several options for you. The red tail shark/rainbow is out either way. Don't grow fast enough or get large enough for any of those fish. Bala shark, chinese algae eater, or some type of catfish would work better. My motto is if you have the space and the money, go more than adequate. In other words, get a larger tank. 125 would be plenty of room, plus it would give you room to get more fish. There are so many diff. set ups you could have for that tank. Is the JD a must? Or the salvini? I've mixed pikes with A LOT of different types of cichlids, from jags to red terrors, to geophagus and severums. Point in case, don't worry about the pike, it will be able to fend for itself. What you gotta worry about is what the PIKE will pick on. They are picky sometimes about their tankmates, pretty much they decide who their tank mates are. SOOOO having said that, you should add the pike LAST! Crenicichla sp. 'xingu I' and Crenicichla cincta are two of the more aggressive pikes, so if you want an aggressive tank, go with those pikes. Crenicichla acustirostris and Crenicichla vittata are more laid back, so if you want a more passive tank...go with those. Those are just a few examples though...
