How about a synspillum?

Oh Man nice size tank!!! Dovii or Umbi pair, or Peacock bass are awsome too.

Yes I've had this read before, but I keep ending up with fish temporarily. People who can't take care of big fish bring them to me and I usually home them for a bit. Now I don't have much that's in there, just 4 gars who are taking a beating from the ray and a pike. I'm looking for something to replace the 19" azul I've been watching for a friend. Ok if I were to get a pair of dovi where should I get them? TUIC? A breeding pair of dovi won't fight with my ray?

Man thanks for doing it the right way- tank size. Festae, Umbee, Jag etc. your good to go

I would go with something gentler like a pair of bocourti or pearsei so they will not annihilate your current stock. I think many of the mentioned pairs will wreak absolute havoc on your stock.
