I have a 20g tank I used to house my cichlids in but now that they got to more than an inch I moved them up to the 75g. I'm looking to stock my 20g weather it be a couple small fish to grow out and later sell or just a single fish kept long(er) term. Now I know I don't have many options due to size, so like I said maybe a more solitary aggresor to grow and sell if possible. Thanks for all comments. Critical thinking will be greatly appreciated. So lemme'hear it.

IMO if you get a solitary aggressor and plan on selling it later you should get a very small one since most of the predatory fish grow to be really big. And as we all know, very small fish = very high care level. Not worth the risk for a costly fish IMO. A baby arowana being an exception for my rule

If I were you I would turn it into a community tank.

community ... like tiger barbs and tetras type setup? I've only ever had cichlids (and two years with a lmb) I'm not really interested in the schooling fish with mild tempers. Maybe it's simply lack of experiance in a diffrent area? I just want somthing that has some action when i come around. Its funny you said arrowana bc that came ho mind but how big can i really grow al arrowana out in a 20g though. I was really thinking breed any one or the number or cichlids i have but unless breeding on a very large scale its not financially worth it correct? Weather its for sales or fish food.
The aro maybe intil 8'' MAXIMUM then move or sell.They are getting harder to find so this may be a good investment =D I've always wanted a baby black 
What about going salt? I know hardly anything about it and what I do mght be wrong info some fool told me

You could breed green kribensis as they are rare in the hobby or you could breed thomassi juwel cichlids because they are VERY easy to breed.
I'm not in a hick town or anything but lfs are reduced to big company stores no mom/pop's left within 50 miles or so with or selection.
Chicago-South/South suburbs if anyone has quality freshwater lfs ideas.
How tough are black arro to raise?
