Most of the fish you listed besides certain species of pike cichlid are not suitable even in the 55g that he is upgrading to.

Have you considered green spotted puffers?

It sounds like you do not really want a predator. Predators don't eat flakes and pellets with out alot of starving and other cruel training methods.
 
no i want a fish that CAN eat goldfish, guppies, and rosie reds etc.
BUT i dont wanna keep a supply of them i want to be able to feed the fish other fish but not ever day
 
Human entertainment vs nutritional value. You would not be feeding goldfish if you discover how much fats and little nutritional value they have. If you were choosing guppies and other livebearers, and convicts, this would be a more preferred choice.
