Hey everyone! Well I am thinking at christmas time I am going to buy a large aquarium... 100 gallons or 120 gallons is I can afford it.

I am looking for a tank that's at least 4 - 5 foot long, 2 foot wide and 2 foot tall because the one I have currently is 3 ft long, 18 inches wide and 2 feet tall.

I am looking for the most aggressive, beastly fish possible! something that looks nasty and has an attitude to match. I really love watching predatory fish in action so I gravitate towards them more.. and the more unusual the better!

I am looking for anything that isn't a cichlid really

Anything you guys could recommend for a tank the sizes I mentioned would be appreciated, I am also looking for something that will live happily in that aquarium for life

And now I have to figure out what to do with my Jack Dempsey, Red tail tinfoil barb and unknown lanky looking stalker fish (LOL, the pet store had it labeled as a needle nose gar)

Thanks in advance everybody!
 
you could do the right thing and put the jd red tail tin and uknown fish in the 100 gallon

Um.... why? I'd rather have one big beastly fish than one blue black red and white fish, one red tail silver body fish and one unknown lanky looking stalker fish

The stalker fish does nothing but creep around, the JD does nothing but chase the stalker fish and the barb off, and the barb randomly swims into the stalker fish and sometimes into the JD's territory, so he gets chased around while being stalked

Its not a good situation for any other these fish so I have to do something

EDIT: Actually.. this may be a good situation for the JD seeing as he is the supreme ruler of the tank, even though the stalker fish is slightly bigger and much more creepy, and the barb is about 400x his size. but he still slaps them around
 
Maybe an aba aba if you can find one and if you canto 5x3x2. I don't think theres anything wrong with getting rid of your current stock and switching it up a little either. Its your pet you should decide. Just my .02
 
A couple of male flower horns with or with out a divider. I get hours of viewing pleasure watching mine chase and outsmart one another but it is a cichlid
 
here are some suggestions

Hoplias Malabaricus....beastly ass fish lol
Green sunfish...mean as hell
Hi fin wolffish biotope would be cool.
a couple rbp's
Im not sure what max size is but maybe indo-tarpon
some dats
Hujeta gars.... kinda suck in my opinion but some like them
Gold wolffish
Possibly redfin pickerel or grass pickerel... nice tooths!
