What do you guys think the best fish to feed is? Looking for something that can go into a 75, schooling is a bonus
 
I would say that there are few fish that rival peacock bass at supper time in terms of overall greedyness but one would very soon need a bigger tank.

that's there problem. I was thinking piranhas but they don't seem to be too aggressive around feeding time. I'm looking into exodons now
 
Koi. Gluttony at its finest.

I tried africans once, there's not much appeal to me for some reason, even though they are some of the most colorful fish you can get. I'm not sure a koi is quite cut out for a 75 gallon, I did used to have a small koi pond though and I know exactly what you mean by gluttony!

I would prefer something that's predatory, something like exodons. A bit bigger would be nice, or maybe a bit cheaper. Has anyone seen exodons for less than $8? Also, how many gallons per exodon is appropriate? Filling a 75 with them would get expensive fast...
 
Freshwater barracudas seem to be a pretty aggressive feeder, and you can keep them with other things. Might be a nice choice for my tank. An angelfish/pike cichlid tank is another option but I would really love to get some fun "showtime" fish in there.
