Just as the title says, I have a 150 gal tank that is currently stocked but am debating a super predator tank. Something easy to look at but fun to watch feed. Was thinking festae, jag, and poss a freddie or mota. What would you guys do?:popcorn:
 
I would get a Rhom. They get big (15"-18") and seem to enoy eating anything. They may even chase your finger.
 
red tail will be as long as the tank!!! I have 2 12" O's now, they are ok....but a festae is just way more impressive than your everyday Oscar. Really like the parachromis species, they're aerodynamics just scream predator fish...I currently have 2 O's, a jag, a jack, gt, and a salvini. All do well together but am looking to mix it up with stuff you can't get at the local stores here.
 
I've started keeping species only tanks with silver dollars as dithers. Works awesome! You get to appreciate the dynamics of the species and how each individual fish acts/reacts. You eventually end up with a pair or two but to watch them raise their young is amazing.

Obviously it's your decision but I'd get a group of young tetracanthus or a parachromis species. Motags, loisellei, or freddies would be all awesome choices. A pair of jags would be very entertaining as well.
 
well that is an easy question for me, I would do a snakhead tank with various species. A splendid SH and maybe a red snakhead. Add a gar and a redtail cat. If youre in the states this post does not apply lol. I get Snakheads here in PH for about 2 dollars each
