I am thinking about getting a 40 gallon tank. I want a single predator fish or a single one with bigger schooling fish. Erythrinus erythrinus/red wolf fish/rainbow wolf fish are ilegal in Florida so I can’t keep one
 
Dwarf pikes cichlids would work, you can add a school of taller bodied tetras with them.

Puffers for sure since wolfs are banned. A 5 star Hemichromis would work too. I’ve had a H. Frempongi for a couple months now and he’s very aggressive and predatory. Absolute glass banger
 
I kinda like exposing tetras and I do have them at my fish store so how much of those could be in a 40 breeder
