Hi Folks, I haven't been on this site (well, technically it was predatoryfish.com) in about 2 years. Not since I had to give away my ClownKnife. She was a beauty.

But, she was getting kinda small for her 150 gallon home so, I luckily found a guy in PA that had a 700 gallon tank that wanted here. (actually he was from that old site, though he has never responded back after I gave him the fish.. hmmmmm)

I have moved into a new place, and am getting the addiction back to get another big fish. But, this time I wan something a bit more aggressive and less likely to hide. So, I'm leaning towards a cichlid perhaps. Perhaps a Flowerhorn or the like. But, I would like to have something that eats prepared food or pellets. The clown knifefish never did... No matter how many times I tried all the years I had her, she would ONLY eat live foods. and 2-3 dozen goldfish every 4-5 days was getting a might bit expensive. So, I would like a less picky fish, something with nice colors, and active. Heck, if it attacked the glass when I put my hand near it I would like that as well!

Thanks folks and hope everything is well with you

(p.s. if you are wondering why I called my fish a She is that she would lay eggs everyso often)
 
welcome back, love the knife and tank, are you going to get the 150 going again or another tank?
 
Hiya and a big welcome.
 
I probably won't be doing the 150 right now. I have a stack of other tanks sitting there empty. 100 gallon, 90 gallon, 75, a couple 55s, a 46, 30s, 20s, 10s, 5, 2.5s.

I had a lot of tanks going at one point it seems heh...

I am sort of limited on space right now, but it will be opening up in about a month or so. But, I'll probably go smaller and then set the 150 up when needed.
 
go w/ a FH. i love mine. very colorful and loaded w/ personality. or go w/ a jag. they get larger than fhs but look way kooler imo.
 
RIGHT after I posted that I realized what it was... I feel dumb...

I actually have been looking looking at flowerhorns. They are actually top on my list.
