Has anybody have any good news about these bad laries before i go out and buy one? And when he goes in the tank he will be by himself with the exception of the fidler crab and the 2 snails. How big not in the wild average in tanks, their feeding habbits are they pissed off fish or calm aggressive fish like oscars and those clown knifes? thanks
Pike cichlids?

When I had a pair of them they were very territorial (had to make it a species tank), and they uprooted all of the decor and moved the gravel to one side of the tank. They'd also attack hands and other cleaning equipment like tongs and siphon tubes as soon as it entered the tank. No worries, b/c other than ramming and gumming, there wasn't much they could do. Consider most of the pikes a bit on the large side for a 55g tank. Try looking into the dwarf varieties.
I just wanted to make sure that they were good with other predator fish and that they were fast enought to get food once in a tank with fast predator fish...I think that they kinda resemble a snakehead a little bit though...
ok i have figures which fish i will be restarting my tank with i realize that they will grow and i will need a bigger tank but heres the list: Pike cichlid, peacock bass (luckaniny), and a KUFU (African) pike. Would all these species live in harmony i guess is the better question?
All from different continents... There could be trouble brewing, but where will you house all these gigantic fish? A 2000 gallon tank?
out of the three which should i have in a 55 gallon tank? and how many? I would like a species tank or a community tank its fine I just like those fish, I also like aerowannas, gars, and oscars. Which should i keep in a tank together?
Well, an arowana would require a 180 gallon minimum, a gar would need froom 200-900 gallons in the long run (depending on the species), and you could have ONE oscar in the 55.
Most of the fish you want will grow too big in the long run, and I wouldn't really put any of those fish in a 55 gallon tank. Just my humble opinion!

haha, i see you like oddball monster fish.
Honestly, a 55g would be a short lived growout for a bunch of the fish you listed. But, thats not a problem if you buy a big tank! I'd say min 180g (gives you a little more room to play with) The good thing about a standard 180g is that its 2 feet wide, which opens doors for keeping larger fish. Or you can get a custom made tank thats long (6'), wider(3') and shorter(1.5-2')
