Is Their a Characin For Me?

[divemaster99]

I've always loved the payara, nile perch, Distichodus type large and most of the time predatory fish. The problem is my largest tank is 75 gallons and it is completely stocked to and possibly over the brim! The closest thing I have now are 3 yellow perch which even though I've only had for a few hours are already awesome, which makes me want this type of fish even more since they're so similar . Is there any aggressive, personable and predatory characin type fish that I could fit in a 40 or 50 breeder for life?

Do some research on rainbow wolf fish. They're pretty cool. Not payara or Nile perch like but still very cool and will fit in your tank comfortably

Most serra species of piranha would take a looooong time to outgrow a 40b if bought small. Cant say they will be personable though it takes luck and patience.

Scomb works perfect for you as well.
