What is the most Beautiful, colorful, Toothy, and streamlined freshwater aquarium fish

[Characin Man]

I have been looking for the most beautiful and colorful freshwater Predator that has big sharp teeth that stays below 20 inches long idealy 10 to 15 streamlined, and live a long time 10 to 20 years in any price range. Like Characins. Also does anyone know about Pike Cichlid teeth I dont know if they have big sharp teeth. If anyone has a pike cichlid that does please show a picture of the teeth and the fish.
Thank You

any pike cichlid that comes close to your list of criteria would probably come from the lugubris family of pikes.
other than that i think the most beautiful fish that aligns with what you are looking for is Serrasalmus Spilopluera, or the red/ purple spilo piranha. Aggressive as all hell, intelligent, bright vibrant colors, and stays relatively small.

He lives in North Dakota. It’s illegal to own snakeheads.

I don’t know your tank size but consider African Odoe pikes. They max out at 20” but grow slowish, they will school together, are very streamlined, and have a tooth to body ratio that rivals tiger fish. I also think I remember reading that they live around 15 years or so and they look like a salmon out of hell. Or you could find a Tat Payara. They’re almost identical to Armatus but don’t exceed 18”. Though, the biggest one I’ve seen is the one I own at 13.5”. They have MASSIVE teeth but are much less tolerant of set ups that aren’t ideal and reportedly die easily when upkeep isn’t followed. That being said, Tats are the most tolerant with tank mates of the bigger Payaras so if you want other fish its a good choice. If there was ever an assassin fish, it would be the payara. Feedings are very fun but don’t blink or you’ll miss it.

dead payara pic may not be a Tat but it shows the massive payara teeth that many of the family share
