I recently purchased a 55g tank from a friend and am trying to decide on what to put in it. I will only be using the 55g just for a while until (if needed) fish outgrow it. If need be, my cousin is willing to give me his 125g.

I used to have to two red bellies in a 55g a couple years back but sold everything. I am interested in setting up my tank with an aggressive species, whether that consist of 1 fish or multiple fishes. I have thought of getting maybe a common wolf fish but i am a little skittish because i read they are rather inactive. Also thought of a red devil but am unsure of what their diet consist of. I basically just want a fish(s) that i am capable of feeding them feeder fish, bloodworms, etc and that is an active aggressive fish.

Although I once had piranhas i am not throwing the idea of once again having them. I am open to suggestions from everyone so lets hear em. btw so glad i found this site, I have been reading through many threads for the last couple of days. There is a lot of great info here!
 
I say go for the 125. You'll want the extra space for aggressive species. Also my understanding is that feeders are a bad idea as they can transfer disease among other things, but hopefully someone more experienced will comment.
