mini monster planted tank

[Atreyu]

I have a 65g planted tank and want to stock it with mini monsters.
atm i can only think of dwarf pike livebearers. what are some fish that i can stock this tank with? plants include- hemianthus "cuba", utricularia graminifolia, rotala walichii and java ferns.

Fresh water puffers. Ornery buggers and very inter-active with you. I'd suggest the Red-Eyed puffer as they stay somewhat small but have more monster in them than the dwarf puffer.

Clawed frogs (not dwarf). Will eat anything they can stuff in their mouths, regardless of time spent with said meal. I lost an albino cory to one and they were tank mates for a little over two years.

Freshwater prawns. I don't have any first-hand experience, but they seem to be pretty unpopular because they eat small fish.

I personally like Bettas. Great looking fish with plenty of attitude.

you could do quite a few dwarf pike cichlids if its pretty well planted

A school of Exodons would be cool
