Hi guys, I'm looking to set up a 5x2x2.5ft tank and as of now these are the fishes I have in mind:

2x Florida gars
1x Tiger shovelnose catfish

I've read that most people have good experiences keeping the tiger shovelnose with gars.
I'm looking for a fish that will swim in the mid section of the tank, able to become the centrepiece fish for my aquarium and also able to comm with the 2 Florida gars.
I'm not interested in datnoids nor arowanas, so I'm hoping if anyone has any other suggestions?

I've considered getting an African pike or a red pike, but I'm not sure if they are able to comm with Florida gars.
