im looking for odd aggressive preditor cichlids that would be able to stay in a 75 gallon so any ideas could you also post a pic if you have an idea thanks.
 
Parachromis loisellei, Parachromis friedrichsthalli, Parachromis motaguensis :)
 
motags are sweet
 
The Parachromis species and the Haitiensis listed above are good choice.

Other species you might be interested are:
"Cichlasoma"urophthalmus
Amphilophus labiatus
A. citrinellus
Nandopsis tetracanthus
 
If you want a true piscovore then you should try some C.lepidota.
 
Either a Beautiful looking Flowerhorn or a Red Devil, both very aggressive cichlids!
 
In a 75 gallon, either go for a smaller community of pisciovres
Oscars (2 with some smaller tankmates should be ok, though pushing the room factor)

Group of Nimbochromis (venustus, fusco, livingstonii)

Or just go out and get a 'glass banger' in that 75.

I would think Dovii would be too small (and probably too skittish by themselves, especially as grow outs).

Midas, Umbee (at least until it hits 12-14")


You may want to just get a community of smaller Centrals, maybe mixed with some africans:

Convicts, Salvinis, Firemouths, Electric Blue Hap, some mbunas, pair of Buffalo Heads.. - should give you some nice colors and loads of displays, as well as some fairly regular breeding.
