Best single predator for a 240 (6x2.5x2)

[monsterkeeper87]

i am looking for a predatory fish that will live alone and will eat the occasional f/t mouse/rat that my snakes dont eat, i have thought about a wyckii (i'm guessing they would eat the occasional mouse?), micropeltes or similar snakehead, aba aba knife (not sure if i can find 1), gar (least favorite on the list but still a cool fish that i would enjoy keeping), or anything else you think will be good? i'm not really interested in pirhannas or cichlids but i'm open to any other ideas

my wyckii is very picky tbh, sticks to 1 type of food... red snakehead is the best choice if you can house it which you cant really long term but would be a better tank than most get here, theres a guy on aq classifieds selling 2x 2 ft'ers in essex atm bud... has the guy in ashford sold his 18inch apurensis yet? was 20 quid last time i saw, they are food monsters!-) could get a large peacock bass or an arowana. no fish should be fed mammal meat really though.
