Predatory Fish for a 75 G?

[SolidSnek]

right. you could probably do a green terror+ornate pim. pimelodus ornatus or pimelodus blochii are both fairly active south american cats that can hold their own with cichlids and grow about the max youd want a fish in a 75. the sveni pike would be a good tankmate too.

Planet Catfish probably has Some i could Check out.

as far as i know thats just sort of an encyclopedia of catfish.

both of these species are among the more uncommon pims you see available. jeff rapps very rarely has ornates available in limited numbers, and ive also seen them sold here on the mfk marketplace.

blochii are a little more common. you should be able to find them online.

at any rate i would probably only try one in a 75. they get pretty large and are active fish.

i know they don't sell fish but i could search for catfish that i could buy.

The Title says it any ideas, Tips, Average Price, Hardiness and Size

Anything Does Catfish, Wolf fish, Bichir and Pretty much Anything that can be kept in a 75 Gallon

[Id Rather have a Big fish than 10 Small Ones]

[I currently don't own an Aquarium of this size but i am asking since i'm thinking about it and might buy it and i want a Predatory fish]

Also Should they be Fed feeder fish [Guppy fry's That are grown by me]

Thanks In advance!

I would definitely recommend a flowerhorn of some kind and can happily live its life in a 75 and are very personable fish ime

Erythinus erythinus (redfin wolffish) or Erythinus sp Peru (purple wolfifhs) with a couple of the smaller upper jaw bichirs like a delhezi or senegal. They don't swim much but are predatory.

You could try a saxatilis or sveni pike. Heck, even a male JD or male GT will eat your small guppies. I vote male GT over a male JD due to activity and color.

Something out of the box, exodon paradoxus ( mini-piranha)

I was going to add wolffish, but I'm not too knowledgable on them, haha.

Well 20 min drive with clear traffic but ya it's my LFS

Another cool option is some brackish stuff - a freshwater moray sounds super cool, and I've heard through the grapevine that they've even managed to get brackish "freshwater" lionfish. That's super cool.
You should also try some of the big predatory cichlids, or it'd be a big squeeze and it'd have to be a species only tank, a school of bucktooth tetras? I don't know much about them either, but they sound super cool. Apparently they're like piranhas, but more aggressive and scarier.

They can get to 10 in. Not picky with food. Can keep tankmates with them. Fine in a 75g for life. Had mine with polys, hujeta gars m, red cudas and barbs. Did well and was active compared other wolves.
