I made a thread like this a couple years ago, but let's see if anyone's dream fish has changed. I'm also cutting it down to freshwater this time too.
Also this time, you can only pick one; if you only had the time, money, and space for ONE monster fish, what would it be?
I'll start, for me it'd be a good quality platinum RTC. Not one of those albinos with the yellow tint and the red fins, just one of those real expensive pretty ones that are shiny white all over.

Tigrinus or Tiger knife or a Lungfish. Some of these are not expensive, just that I can't have another tank for them.

Oh man, so many I'd love to have for life!
Of all the ones I want, the only one I have not seen/kept briefly (I owned the fish section at a pet store) was the african goliath tiger fish, but aside from that I'd love to have kept RTC, datnoids, bichirs, ripsaw catfish, alligator gars, asian arowanas, snakehead, pike, pickerel, bass, snakehead, shovelnose catfish, lungfish, giant gouramis, pacus, groupers, knife fish, fahaka puffers, stingrays, wolf fish, marbled gobies, etc. But to answer your question, it'd be the African Goliath Tiger, tell me you wouldn't love to see this monster in a 10,000< gallon river style tank swimming amongst driftwood and plants hunting fish

Mbu puffer like Aquarium Coop. I could get the appropriate tank but I would rather make a clown Loach community tank out of it. Plus I don't want the expensive food commitment but they seem awesome.

I could really go for another ST but at their current astronomical prices that I am not willing to pay they are now a "dream fish" for me.
