Something Unique

[oceanlax23]

I was looking to set up another tank but Im tired of just getting fish that everyone else has. Im not saying that theres anything wrong with these type of fish, its just that Id like something different, a type of conversation starter fish. Im looking for something really cool, Any region, any temp, just something cool. Id prefer the fish to top out at around a foot, not looking for any members of the gar family, or oscars, or cichlids. If you have anything or know anyone who has anything really awesome please pm me with pics and details.
Thank you in advance,
Tom

Search up Forskahlii African Tiger Fish or FATF. If you could get one near full grown, Theres a conversation peice in any aquarium.
They max at around 2 1/2 feet in the wild so any larger than around 1 foot in captivity is extremely rare.
A few of the local MFK Vendors are selling them so just check the vendors pages for info about obtaining such an incredible fish.

I know you said no cichlids but from what you said your looking for size and wanting a conversation piece. It sounds like a high quality upper grade Flowerhorn such as Kamfa of some sort would be perfect. Other option that comes to mind but gets a bit larger is a Dat, or possibly a African OBO Pike that's a great fish too. They are cheaper, and easier to find at the size you want then African Tiger Fish and still have big teeth to talk about with your friends.
