this fish are not a bad choice, but i'm wary of them being fin nippers...guppy said:You could try a gar look alike like the south american Spotted pike characin (Boullengerella maculata), fair are fairly easy to find and get 13-16" long, they like high 78-86 degree F. temps. 6-7 ph, and are tolerant of a wide range of hardness, they like being in groups and are not agressive with fish to big to eat. And they look cool. You could also try cachorros.
The pic is of the Boullengerellas

Moving gars from tank to tank can be very stressful on them, so keep that in mind if you will be changing tanks at any point. Our gars are in a 190 gallon tank with one arrowana, two parrots, and one pleco. All get along well.
