Click to expand...

this is a good question.. most predatory fishes have big mouths.. arowanas, clown knife, pbass, dats, lungfishes.. but my money is on catfishes as they could mostly eat tankmates as big as they are

The hand's-down mouth size winner is the Gulper (Eurypharynx pelecanoides) eel. This eel grows to 6ft and can eat prey IT'S OWN SIZE.

P45, oh wait, you said fish, my bad.....The deep sea gulper has the porportionately the biggest mouth of any known fish but you can't keep one. You could keep a goose fish, sometines called a monk fish if you had a big, cold, sw tank. What about fot a fresh water tank? I'm asking about porportionate sizen not overall size. My guess is a paddlefish.
