aggressive tank

hi guys im new to this site. i have had cichlids before but i had to give them away because i was moving. i have a 110 gallon tank and i am looking to start all over with some new fish in it! i am super siked and i am wanting some really aggressive fish, i cant have piranhas unfortunatley cuz i live in california, but i would love to know what you guys think are the most aggressive tank that would work in a tank of my size?! thanks for the help

 

Salutations! Glad to see you found way here!

Freshwater/Saltwater?

Go salt, and you can easily get aggresive fish that will make those piranhas look like guppies.

;D

 

salt would be your best bet and look 10000000000000000000000x better.

 

i will agree with you guys that salt will look amazing but i hear it is a lot of work! and money$$$$$$. what would i need to convert my tank and how much would that cost? the only thing i would have is the glass of my tank ha.

but if salt water tank is too expensive... what freshwater fish would be suitable for me?

 

a fish only tank isnt to much money. Just a good filter, some basic lights, and maybe a skimmer of some sort.

Reef tanks are whwere the money is

welcome to the 3reef,
As far as I know if you want aggressive fish and fresh water then you should stay with the cichlids. I would suggest that you look at the Auratus, I understand that these are a right up their as far as aggression goes not so big but will attack larger fish.

 

Welcome aboard danwantingmore. As for fw fish, Im sorry but I cant help you there, I left fw decades ago and I cant even remember last week!:yelrotflm

 

To me there is nothing more fun to watch/feed than a tiger oscar. Just get one, maybe a pleco as they grow really fast. I actually had a tiger oscar kill a larger red oscar. He would also jump out of the tank at you at feeding time, eat hamburger, candy, or whatever friends when I was 20-22 would throw in at the time and he just grew and grew. He ate everything he could including a 7 inch ghost knife fish that took 3 days to fully ingest, put in 6 feeder goldfish and he would have 3 hanging out of his mouth and go for more. So aggressive???? Go with a tiger oscar. I have a friend that has a string around a rubber minnow so he could fish for his without a hook. That's what I would go with anyways.

 

MAN 3reef rocks! i am on a bunch of other forums and i didnt get hardly any feedback! sweeet! as far as the Auratus... i have had one and he wasnt that aggressive in my old tank, he actually got eaten. and as far as the oscar... i had one too and he got eaten ha. i put him in there with my african cichlids and he got eaten to the bone that same night i put him in there. lately i have been a forum whore and everywhere i look people argue about what cichlid or fish is meaner or more aggressive, but i think that whatever fish you get... is either aggressive or not. on peoples lists of the most aggressive you will see the bumble bee cichlid, jewel and convict somewhere up there on the list and i have had all three and they have been really calm in my tank! ha, maybe i just had duds, idk. i am looking for more of an active fish than an oscar though, i know they are aggressive as heck though
