I am looking for a pike cichlid that can go in a 75 gallon with a Oscar and 3 silver dollars. Are there any?
 
Dwarf pikes will end up dinner for your Oscar. Any other pikes that hit around 8" would be a better choice.
 
Is there anything in particular you like about Pikes? As said above Dwarfs would end up as snacks and I think a lot of the easy to track down Pikes could be too aggressive for the Oscar and SDollars. I believe there is a group of Pikes that get to around 7/8 inches that could work called Saxatillis (spelling) but worth a search for more info.

If you like them because of the snake like appeal what about one of the smaller Bichir species?

I once kept a cobra pike which was a stunning fish but an impulse buy. He grew to about 10 inch in my tank and had to be kept alone as he was totally anti social beautiful but aggressive
