I just got my new 55 gallon aquarium and it is circulating right now, I will put my fish in soon and right now I only have one 5 inch tiger oscar. I was thinking about pirhanna, what would be a good monster fish to get in there? the more agressive the better
 
Tiger Oscar should have something bigger than a 55 with a 75 as min. I know I have mine in a 55 but, lfs won't take it wasn't informed about the oscar until to late.

You could go with an african Style tank
with
Polys
African Knifefish
African Butterfly Fish
and such with driftwood and live plants

But that is what I recommend to everyone.
 
thanks i appreciate it
but i watn fish that are really
vicious and will kill anything that
i put into the tank in seconds
 
A dovii...midas...red devil.
 
I think Dovii are a little to big for my tank
but thanks i will take the other 2 into consideration

Not in a 55.

Why do you need fish so aggressive they kill in seconds? Is this your plan for the tank, just random feedings of other living creatures to watch stuff get ripped up?
There are plenty of fish you can have but not many aggressive killers like what you desire will stay small enough for a 55, and with the Oscar your tank is already fully stocked.
 
Actually that is exactly what i want
I want a "Monster" fish
hence the name of the forum I am on
(:
 
a nice Red Devil will do the trick!! Just watch out when you clean the tank. They are known for biting the hand that feeds them...literally!
 
Thats what I was thinking. Thanks alot i appreciate it.
I'll keep you updated on what I decide to do Tripping
