I was considering that but, I decided on a gsp because they stay at a more manageable size. Also, I see so many threads where people buy monster fish "planning" on getting a bigger tank. Only to have something stop them and make a fish suffer through their poor planning. I do see where you say only if you intend on getting a larger tank. But, considering how he finally has enough to buy a 55g. Who knows when he will have enough for a 150g? When i was 6, I bought a bala shark and put him in my 10g. Even though the guy at my lfs said he would get to big. I told him i was getting a 55g for my birthday. Well my birthday came around and I didn't get it and i was left with a bala shark suffering for my misjudgement. I just don't want to see that happen again.

yes iam planning on just keeping the fish in a 55g for life i absolutely HATE when people buy animals and know nothing about them and have the clasic 10g tank. that is y iam doing my research insteed of making a terrible mistake.
and zebra what fish was that????
and keep it going i would love to see more beastly fish ideas
 
the congo puffer already mentioned is a sick predator, although doesn't offer much in terms of energy and movement...usually doesn't play nice with others either...but a really cool fish
 
ok they look pretty cool.
dont get too big though.
i currently have a 29g tank with 1male 1 female convicts. Is there ANYTHING that i can put with them i want to put a bichir with them (of course im upgraded)
 
well, you would have to upgrade eventually when they out grew it..but I had a Silver Arrowana, Aligator gar and an oscar in my 55 gallon tank..and theyd go through 3 dozen minnows in 3 days. It was awesome to watch
 
thx guys keep the ideas flowin
 
well 55g would be good for one oscar and they are pretty aggresive sometimes

Not for life though. Look at green spotted puffers, they're pretty interesting and fun to watch them eat.
