please help me build my first predator tank

[GermanDude]

There are a lot of nice lake victoria cichlids, that grow to 4-6 inches, which you could keep in a tank like yours.
Malawi haps grow much bigger mostly.
Too big I am afraid.

nice idea my friend thanks , but i already have so many tank for cichlids, i like and want to try something new

not easy... small tank + community + predator + limited stock

I did a search.... see if it helps

considering how slow indo tiger grows.... maybe you can consider getting a few but only if you are able to have a bigger tank in the future...

No problem!
African butterfly fish look unique, are predatory and no cichlids...

my dear GermanDude i already mentioned that african butterfly fish is not available here, thank you i really like to keep them, but.....
galant my friend, thanks for the link, i will check it out

i already read the thread you linked but i am so sorry that is not useful for me, yes i know it is next to impossible to build a predator community or at least 4 fish, where stock is limited, , and that's why i'm here my friend, and i thank you for your help

What's your definition of predatory fish?

What traits would you like to see in the fish?

 

[Galantspeedz]

Also if you have 12 tanks, possible to remove some so you have space for a larger tank?

Last Try: Acestrorhynchus minimus, or A. isalinae.
These barracuda tetras stay pretty small, are predatory and you could keep a group of them.
Over one billion live in India.
I bet someone has some for sale.

Aplocheilus lineatus...lives in India, good luck catching!
