Looking for a fish

[Mr. Cactus]

Hi I'm relatively new to the hobby and was wondering if I can get any fish reccomendations. I am looking for a predatory fish that is an active swimmer and semi large (somewhere around the range of 10-20 in). And I don't want an Oscar, thanks for the help!

Currently a 150 I am currently building a 350 gallon however

Maybe...yellow tail cudas, odoe pike, pike cichlids, and upper jaw polypterus? Not all at the same time.

Red Tail Cuda get to around 10-12 inches, or Hujeta Gar get to 9 inches-but they are piscivores.

Thanks, I was originally thinking about a wolf fish either red or black but I have heard they aren't active swimmers. If they have adequate space would they swim?

Oh and also I just said 10-20 to give you guys an I can go up to 30 give or take an inch or so

Wait your relatively new? Perhaps that fish wont work for you. Instead of a preadator, why not a school of Silver Dollars, they are not predatory but active swimmers.

Hmm I might try that out in my 150 before I finish my 350. Thanks

The odoe pike looks like a fish i would like. Can I manage it you think though?
