Luciocephalus pulcher

Yea he should work out with the fish you already have. Make sure you get him relatively young though so he has a chance to "grow up" with them

I was thinking of maybe putting in a few other oddball/predator species with these, what else would work well

It's going to eat anything that will fit in its mouth, if it's anything like actually pike it will attack fish up to a 1/3 it's size. What else would you out in the tank ?

What about a tire track eel, elephant nose, ram, and angelfish

 

[Brookster123]

Noo, well actually.. whatever you'd like as it's your tank.. maybe a bit of research beforehand.. that's an aweful lot of money to waste..

What would you recommend?

 

[Brookster123]

As far as what?

Maybe an ambush predator or oddball

 

[Brookster123]

So you have a 75gal? You want a lot of fish with some big guys? You want one BIG fish that will eat smaller fish??

Mostly predators or oddball that can coexist

 

[LynxRocks28]

A few predators that can coexist peacefully

 

[LynxRocks28]

What about a needlenose gar or red tail barracuda
