I have some store credit at my LFS. I am looking for an agressive, 'carnivorous' fish that can thrive with others of its species in a 72g, if any? I have tried the whole single fish in a big aquarium, but dont like it, i like a lot of movement. Plus i want a 'carnivore', something that i can feed live feeders to (if quarantined and safe), meat, etc.


Right now my LFS has two red bellies, would those be safe together? They are in the same tank at the LFS (tank is like a 50g) they seem to be fine together, ignore each other and just swim around.. They are both pretty big too, my guess is around 10".


If not, my LFS also sells some small 'Sabertooth Fish', that are about 3"-4" right now, would 2 of those be ok in a 72g for a little while? I plan on upping to a 150g by the end of this year.


If neither of those would work out, can you guys suggest some other 'carnivorous' fish that would go well in a 72g, that also gets along with its specias, so i can house 2-3 of them?
 
I have one those tanks and i love the hujeta gars or needle fish.Also piranas would get along but i think 10 inch pirans would be hard.
