i am looking for a predatory fish that will live alone and will eat the occasional f/t mouse/rat that my snakes dont eat, i have thought about a wyckii (i'm guessing they would eat the occasional mouse?), micropeltes or similar snakehead, aba aba knife (not sure if i can find 1), gar (least favorite on the list but still a cool fish that i would enjoy keeping), or anything else you think will be good? i'm not really interested in pirhannas or cichlids but i'm open to any other ideas :)

my wyckii is very picky tbh, sticks to 1 type of food... red snakehead is the best choice if you can house it which you cant really long term but would be a better tank than most get here, theres a guy on aq classifieds selling 2x 2 ft'ers in essex atm bud... has the guy in ashford sold his 18inch apurensis yet? was 20 quid last time i saw, they are food monsters!-) could get a large peacock bass or an arowana. no fish should be fed mammal meat really though.
