I would bite the bullet and keep a community predator tank... Some act like its impossible but i've kept sunnies, bullheads, and pickerel together with no problem (mind you they are all similarly sized). As long as everything has decent space and hiding areas, I don't think you'll have too much of a problem.
OK, but i've heard that a set up like that would require a large tank and i only have room for a 65... is it still possible?

yeah, even with a 65 gallon you should be able to keep one or two longears, redbreasts, pumpkinseeds or something and a smaller bullhead or yellow perch with your redfin pickerel. They'll all go for their spot in the water column.... Just be mindful that if a fish looks like it can fit in another fish's mouth.. it will.OK, but i've heard that a set up like that would require a large tank and i only have room for a 65... is it still possible?

Also no one ever mentions it but it is worth mentioning.
That saying doesn't just apply to the adding of new fish. Fish grow and they do not all grow at the same rate, so be careful. A fish that doesn't fit in anothers mouth today may fit their a month down the road. I have learned this lesson the hard way a few times.
