predatory tank

I wouldn't put an Oscar in a 55. You are inviting sickness upon your fish. You COULD do gigantic bi-weekly water changes, but why make your life difficult when you don't have to? Not to mention that if you miss a week, your fish suffers.
 
loads of people have suggested really good fishes for a 29gallon i feel..what you need to do is to get your fish to eat prawns and pellets first and then moving on to the occasional feeder once in a week or as you prefer. all predatory fish like live food so by just saying that you want a predatory fish that eats pellets as well makes no sense.
 
in a 55 i would do a big ass school of exodons or a pair of SA leaf fish
 
Then get shrimp pellets or frozen squid and beefheart...most fish that eat feeder goldfish would eat that also....my tsn, and RTCxtsn hybrid eat other fish and all that stuff also

im in a similar situation lol i wa maybe thinking bichir or something ..there are probarbly hundreds of fish that eat other fish and are predatory sutable for a 55 but none ever get suggested or you will find out to late lol :(
A sole Delhezi will live in a 55 for life. It may be a bit cramped. Or a few senegal bichirs. A single oscar , exodons , Needlefish! All of these with the exception of if you only got like 3-4 exodons require a 55 gallon.

Oh and this is about the 4th time I have seen a thread of this nature written by you.
PLease if you want to repost because me and everyone else told you LAST TIME " damnit kid make a decision"

At least change your avatar it may be more discrete of you that way.
 
nope couldnt find 1 anywhere and internet order wasnt an option.ugh.
BUT i found some golden pike cichlids at my lfs and was wondering if 1 of them and an african knife would do ok in a tank
