All I can say is Silver Arowana...Mine is being fed on Freeze dried krill/shrimp and a couple feeders for treats.... But he/she could go on strictly prepared food if need be... But mine is a gentle giant (18").

There is a type of leporinus that gets pretty big, cant remember the name now.
Tin foil barbs.
long nose distichodus (Distichodus lussoso) gets about 16 inches
Black shark (Morulius chrysophekadion) gets about 20 inches.
Maroon Shark (Leptobarbus hoeveni) gets about 20 inches as well.
Redfin Prochilodus (Semaprochilodus taeniurus) gets about 12 inches.

Just go with a giant goldfish or koi. Or how about a buffalohead or grass carp. They can get HUGE!!!

Clown loaches are predators when adults, adult Koi need atleast 300 gallons per fish and prefer cool water, archerfish are predatory, and scats need marine as adults.

Some angels can be agro, and I have heard tangs are pretty agressive. They use the spine at the base of their tail to cut other fish.
Clown Loaches become predatory?

Distichodus sexfasciatus are very pretty and get large. But their ravenous plant-eaters. I've got 6 distichodus affinis I'd like to get rid of. They're fast, sleek, and interesting, but they can destroy aquarium plants in a matter of minutes. They chewed all my java fern down to twigs.
