Hoping to get new tank

[Passionate 4 pikes]

i am getting an article published in the T.F.H. magazine and will be recieving any where from 175-250 dollars so i will buy a fitec cast net and... maybe an aquarium at the very most it would be 44 inches long 12 inches tall and 15 inches wide (how many gallons would it be?) i know its not very large but the only way i could make it bigger is to buy another stand (the one i have now is a super strong book shelf ) which might be too expensive. the estimated cost of the aquarium will be about 100 dollars just for the glass
the pump would probably be 40 dollars or more (i would have enough filtration for about 75gallons+ i would use beach sand and rocks.
i want tankbusters for sure a pike would be going in and i REALLY want an EBJD soo bad would it possibly work?
also any other tankbusting fish would be great.
here is my whish list
EBJD
WOLF FISH
CONVICT
GEOPHAGUS
I CANT THANK OF ANYMORE AT THE MOMENT BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS???? I REALLY AM OPN TO SUGGESTIONS
I may not even get the tank but i am pretty sure i will. I may have to make it only 36 inches long though.
i am open for suggestions etc and will keep you updated.
Thanx in advance!!!​

I would say go small, like one of the cichlids you mentioned. Also untill you have the tank or know for sure what size you are getting I would wait to plan the fish...

No way will that tank be big enough for a wold or any species. And also EBJDs are very difficult to keep and would appreciate a bigger tank aswell

A red wolf fish would do just fine in that tank.. get one of those.

I am sorry i wasnt looking for what is easiest i was looking for the bare minimum CAN A EBJD fit in the tank???
if the wolf gets too big i will put it in the pond. will a malabaricus kill everything in the tank? any more suggestions on tankmates will be welcome.
How many gallons would the tank be if i made it 44 inches long???
mudfrog I dont think i could find a red wolf fish i dont know if they are regional. do you have a pic of one?
Bush fish rox, i am really tense right now and i wanna now my options as soon as possible no offense whatsoever.
any other creative setups etc? please post any wild ideas you may have.

Here is a pic of a red wolf.. and yes a mala will more then likely kill everything.. BTW.. that tank size would be 34 gallons.

Thanks a lot 34 gallons doesnt seem very much does it but it is the length that matters.
Is that wolf fish yours? it is beutiful!!!
If i get the tank i will put an EBJD in it (unless it would kill my pike of course.)
