I have a 15 gallon spare what should I get?

Yeah I have a tank, that I was planning on getting a Congo puffer for, but i got sidetracked with a crawfish. I would love a fish who is active all the time, predatory, nice looking (shape, not bothered about colour) and personable.

There HAS to be a fish out there for me I like Congo puffer (aggression/predation), dwarf pike cichlid(personality/colour) and anything that just looks AWESOME!!! big teeth, as long as it looks mean as hell and acts it, so post up anything you think I will like!

not a fish, but an African clawed frog would be a very cool, personable predator for that tank

I disagree, I had an African Clawed frog and it was the most TERRIBLE thing I have ever had in a tank! DO NOT put them in a community tank they will eat EVERYTHING that will fit in their mouth. When the one I had was about 4" it freaking ate a 3" PLECO! WHOLE! Part of the poor pleco's tail was sticking out of the frog's mouth. In my opinion African Clawed Frogs are the WORST THINGS ever they are not fun to watch either all they do is stare you down like they want to eat you..... If you want a cool looking fish with big teeth get a baby Vampire Tetra, you will need a larger tank in the future but you can keep it in the 15 gallon for a little while, but they rarely get over 24" in captivity, plus they look sooooo coool!

this is true, but but the OP doesn't want something for a community tank, he is looking for a predator with personality. I've had a few over the years and they eventually get very responsive to you and will come up to the top and you can hand feed, etc.

Yeah, I've considered a payara(vampire tetra) for my 90 gal but they are too expensive/big and if tbh I would really rather keep it In that tank for life.

You should get a larger tank so you can use the 15g for a sump!

Yeah you're right but it was just a word of warning I have seen several people who have placed those frogs in a tank thinking "oh it's a frog it's harmless!" and then they wake up and they have a very empty tank and a very fat frog....
