so here's the deal, when I came to this site I was so excited cuz I finally have enough room for a 75 gallon aquarium. I thought wow 75 gallons is massive there must be a bunch of predatory fish I can add. Then I came to this site and the first theing I saw was something like how to setup a 2,500 gallon aquarium.:eek3: Wow, I thought 75 was huge! So I've been posting post trying to figure out a "monster" fish that will be good in a 75 gallon. So far all I have is RED bellied piranhas. They're my last choice. Is there anything else that's
A: big enough that it actually fills the space and shows a large preseence in the tank
B: conftorable enough in a tank that size
C: they have to be mostly carnivores

any suggestions?

They're all pretty active polys, so I think it would look great.
I want to do the same in a 75G, but Im working on getting a 120 for my dats and then I'll probably add a carpet of polys.
