Some good news and fish reccomendations

Thats the problem, I live in Turkey. Here cichlids and livebearers are in demand so monster fish are rare. Thats why I was looking for a site that sent them abroad.
Eh will do that. Pretty sure I can get a Ropefish tho.
My hujeta gars aren't jumpy at all. In fact, I've kept 8 different specimens and none of them were jumpy.
They aren't that active and tend to hover in a spot most of the time. The 65 gallon should be enough for hujetas.
They can be kept singly, in pairs or in a shoal. I have 4 so I think 4-5 should be a good number.
Expect the growth rate to be slow. They grow relatively quickly until about 6 inches and then they slow wayyy down. Mine have been stuck at 6-7 inches for almost a year.

Eh sounds about right. They max out at 10" or so anyway. Might get myself a pair and see If they work out. Could they live with Angelfish ? I know they would eat my Platies so I will rehome them but my Rainbow Shark and Angel I want to keep so.
They are killers hejuta's. So platies will be good food. Also i heard that they may get aggresive towards eachother when older.
So in such a small tank it might be better to get one instead of a pair or a group. The same goes for butterfly fish.
You could keep a butterfly and a hejuta do. (i have both aswell and goes perfect aldo my tank has more surface area.)
Hejutas are quite easy to keep when they eat everything but sometimes its very hard to get them to eat anything but life fish. So be prepared to waste a bit of money on lifefood if u get one that doesnt already eat frozenfish.
I also do think that 1,20x 45cm is a bit small for an adult hejuta gar.

Noted. I really like predatory fish but because of the tank size seems like I dont have many options. What else would you reccomend apart from the ones already mentioned ?
