Need mid level predator for center piece.

[QuDodger]

I have a medium sized predator tank that I have set up and need some ideas for a center piece that fits the theme of semi-aggressive predator. I have a couple delhezi bichirs, a rocket gar, two fat sleeper gobies, and a tiger datnoid. All are active and besides the gobies are out all the time but tend to stay at the bottom. Only fish that really uses the upper part of the tank is the rocket gar and the datnoid. I am looking for a fish that will spend most of its time in the middle to upper parts of the tank. My tank is currently a 90 gallon but I can move up to a 125 when needed. Any ideas?

Gars? You'd need a tank bigger than a 125 though, unless you got a 125 with a big footprint which would be acceptable.

The datnoid itself is a center dweller also

It's a rocket gar. Not a true gar, doesn't get that big.

I understand that I was talking about buying a small, beginner gar like a Florida

My apologies. And gars are illegal in California unfortunately. Along with rays and piranhas. Pretty much all the cool fish.

I'm curious as well to know a good mid/top dweller that would suit this set up.

Red -tailed prochilodus, will need the 125 in time though. Very cool characin.

There are a lot of south American and central American Cichlids that stay in the middle.Or maybe a school of narrow or wide bar silver dollars

3-5 Pink Tailed Chalceus. Great color, very active, Mid to top dweller and they put on decent size as well. My largest is right at 6 inches - doubled in size since I got them at the beginning of the year.
