Predatory Fishes Recommendations?

[Fanatic_Fish_Lunatic]

Can you recommend predatory fishes to me? I don't mind if they're non-aggressive, moderately-aggressive, highly-aggressive, extreme and overly aggressive or territorial. I just want fish that are predatory or strictly predatory. Can be purely carnivorous or omnivorous, I don't mind. Currently, the predatory fishes that I have are clown knifefish, aba aba knifefish, annectens lungfish, dovii, jaguar cichlids, umbee cichlid, hoplias malabaricus, silver arowana(albino), jardini arowana, flowerhorns, red devil, midas cichlid, oscars, peacock bass, malawi eye biter, bichirs, venustus cichlids and more. Some are in my ponds, some are in my tanks. Anything besides what I currently have? Especially large species.

you could try some sort of african tigerfish or gar, as they are the very essence of a large predatory fish.
for something smaller, maybe take a look at leopard bush fish. they are relativley peaceful and dont get much larger than six inches.
if you are looking for something really big, try a golden dorado. I like to think of them as predatory south american salmon, and they are extremely beautiful in my opinion.

...I almost got an African tigerfish, but the seller was a fraud.

It sounds like you of plenty of gallons if you want a monster fish and i see you have Africans already why not the Emperor Cichlid.
If you get one start a thread

Extremely rare in my country+damn expensive even for a very small size.

Damn, that's obvious. Basic, Classic, Cheap, Large, Gluttonous, Ridiculous fast growers. Maybe I'll try.

one of the classics, and for good reason. everything you said with the added bonus of not looking plain when older. just remember to pair it with appropriatley sized tankmates.
