Okay i have a 30g tank and i would like to know the meanest and most aggressive fish, that will just kill and eat any other fish that enters the tank! Can you give me some ideas?!:screwy:
 
Do not get an Ocar if you do not have at least a 75 gallon at home you can put hiim in when the time comes. A lot of people say well ill get a bigger tank when the time comes but things happen and if you can't get a bigger tank when the time comes then the fish is stuck in a tank to small for him and thats not fair on the fish. That's why I try to practice not getting a fish unless I already have a tank big enough for it for life.

Tracknfield may I ask why you want a fish that will "kill" any other fish that enters? Also were are you located?

Don't start off a tank with a born killer like that. In over your head buddy.

If the dimensions are at least 3' long and 1' deep then go for an Oscar, but only if you'll be able to upgrade it to a larger tank once it's about 7-8'. Oscars are pretty good monsters for starters. They eat a ton and will bug the living crap out of you, but have awesome personalities. It's like the training wheels for the bigger badder fish out there.

I wish I could get rid of mine but I got attached to the little punk and it'd kill me now lol

Just be ready for a TON of food going into the tank, lots of cleaning, and head aches all the time cus he did something to tick you off (mine likes to "redecorate" and break stuff)
 
Yep definately.. i used to have fake plants in and he would just like pick them up... it gets annoying but its funny lol
 
Go with something you can keep in there for life, with that level of aggression you want it's hard to find something small, unless you want to settle for small aggressive cichlids like demasoni or neets
 
get a group of pea puffers they will hunt ghost shrimp like a pack of wolves.
 
A pack of Exodons or Piranha, Puffer, agressive cichlids, etc.

edit: Well, it's finally too small for piranha..
 
Shoal of exodons or maybe a red wolf fish.
