Hi to all.

This is my first thread here :)

Ok, here is my dilemma.
I have new tank about 700L(185gal)+ of water. Tank dimensions 170cmX70cm(W)X65cm(water height) tank height is about 75cm.

I want take some predatory fish because their nature fascinate me.
Predatory fishes are so awesome and smart.
Don't want to put snakehead into this tank because I think it's to small for channa micropeltes(correct me if I'm wrong).

I want aggressive fish with great dentistry who is not afraid to bite :)
Yes, it's gonna be single specimen tank with some fast shoaling paracheirodon innessi.
After tons of research this 3 species come into my mind.
Fahaka, black wolf fish and Rhom.

They all have their pros and cons, so I want to hear from more experienced keepers advice or two.

I can purchase blue diamond Rhom at 13" it's relly nice fish, little bit expensive tho, and pure black Rhom at 5".
I'm afraid tank would be empty if rhom is too small and hidden between plants.
Fahaka is at 5"ish and looks great.

The Fahaka will grow fast and it will be an awesome single display fish! They are very interactive with their owners. If you use some kind of redish substrate it will bring out the color on the Fahaka! Got mine around 3 inches.. 6 months later.. he is now 11 inches. Wolves are awesome too!! Started my Aimara at 12.5-13 inches.... 6 months later...pushing 19 inches

Maaan such awesome fishes you have.

Aimara is little bit out of my price range it's around 1000$.

Is that glass divider in aimara/puffer tank?
Are they charging at each other if is?
