New to MFK - looking for new type of carnivoruos fish

[Mysta513]

Hey.. im new to the site and heard this was a great place to get ideas on my aqaurium.
currently i have a 125 gallon aqaurium which houses 9 pirahna (adult)
iim lookin to get rid of these and try something a lil different.
what type of fish other than cichlids would be a good idea?

Cichla Kelberi? A bit pricey but they look nice.

 

[Mysta513]

o yea my friend has 2 of those and they are a lil pricey from when i looked them up online. and very colorful

maybe a smaller gar

 

[Mysta513]

i had a gar.. didnt like those too much and gave it to the local pet store here. i was interested in snakeheads jus found out there illegal here

Bichirs?

....There isnt much else besides what has been said and that you'll like...unless you plan to upgrade, in that case, get an armatus

 

[Mysta513]

i jus researched armatus.. i think that will be interesting fish in my aqaurium. thx.. ima try to learn more about them before purchasing tho

a breeding pair of cichlids are evil , try jaguar cichlids

What about predatory Haps? They are African cichlids and from Lake Malawi.. Google tyranochromis or champochromis or buccochromis haps. You could put a few nice specimens in a 125 and they are not crazy agressive like the mbunas from the same lake. If you like blue in your fish these guys will deliver.
