Since everyone keeps nagging on my shark keeping. I want some idea's on some cool fish set up's

I have a 50 gallon and a 10 gallon As of today.

I think I am going to keep a couple of 4 inch cichlids on the 10 gallon that i already have and are grown.

So about the 50 gallon .. I want some predators. nothing that is too .. just fish looking that you could see anywhere like cichlids, they are aggresive but too ordinary. So I want some idea's .. sharks, oscars, piranna's .. something along those lines. bring me idea's!!!
 
How about something like a pair of Dovi and a Black Shark Or pair of Oscars and Red Tail cat? A 50 gallon wouldn't be a suitable permanent home but would be a good start.
I'm biased over the Black Shark as they're my favorite freshwater fish followed by Red Tails.

Piranhas wont be very active. For oscars you really should have at least 75 gallons per adult. I think I have the perfect fish for you-exodons. There aggressive but yet small enough for the 50 gallon. A tank full off these would be awesome.

They would be a little smaller than what you wanted. They get to be about 3 inches. They will eat feeder fish along with almost any food you throw in there. They are very aggressive and active. Have a look at this thread:
