Dithers For Pikes?

[Fish Guy]

I currently have 3 Belly Crawler pikes in my 75 gallon and 4 Angels. I know this is a risky combo but inheritted the pikes from a friend, but luckly enough there has been no problems yet. They have been together for 6 months now, but my problem is that the pikes are slowly picking off the tiger barbs I have in there to fill out the tank and bit more. I was wondering if there would be any other type of fish I could put in there to make the tank look a bit more active? I did consider some more new world cichlids, like severums or firemouths, but I think there will be some aggression problems then. It seems that the pikes don't bother the angels because angels tend ot be less territiorial unless they are breeding.

Any fishes with pike, will eventually become part of the menu up to and including the Angelfish. Is a poor combination you currently have.

I would say sell the pikes and get something else

Haha I think I would sell the Angels before I would the Pikes.
