I have the chance to change my tank around, moving house if you have not seen my other thread. I have the chance of a wild elongatus, a wild white piranha or a payara what would you guys choose?

this is my first out and out predator tank so advice is helpful
 
elongs dont get as big as the others so if size is what youre looking for go with piraya but elongs are very aggressive and black mask elongs look really neat, what do you mean by white piranha?
 
Im assuming the whites are some sort of rhombeus, as we get them wild caught sometimes the boss goes with what the common name in the collection area is, not necessarily the scientific name
 
if you have a 90 gallon tank, i would either go with a few natts or caribes, a solo piraya, or a 10"+ rhom
 
im leaning towards the elongatus but that is if the payara at work are all scombs, i dont fancy putting work into a fish that people say dies in '2 weeks'
 
turns out a white piranha is brandtii well thats one of the common names for brandtii
