Monsterfish in planted tanks

[Monster VooDoo Fish]

all my tanks have plants in them but my planted tank is a 75g. with a sh. I have about 150 + pounds of flourite to keep the plants rooted. 2wpg with swords, hygro, anubias and duck weed. I dose lots of seachem products.

other 3 tanks have gravel, swords and snakeheads lots of sh's.

there is a 2"deep base of florite and a 3" layer of sand atop....nothing gets uprooted as the cichla do not fuss with the plants,they only go after anything moving in the tank

That is sweet. Thats best of both worlds.

Other than arowana and peacock bass, what other monster fish that can suit in the planted tank?

Maybe gars?(anyone with picts of planted tanks with gar would be nice )... the rest like rtcs will uproot most plants in one swipe as they are too powerful unless you tie the plants down to bogwood.
