Just now, Kieflow

What is everyone’s favorite predators that can live in tanks 75 gallons and below? I’m especially interested in predators that can consume adult sized guppies/minnows. 

1oscar in a 75 or few cichlids like jags green terror maby a bichir with some cichlids or red bellied piranha. You actually have few options

The options would be more like 75g and up, but my personal favorite is this guy..... 😊 I don't feed him guppies or minnows, but I have no doubt if given the option, he would eat them. He tries to eat my head when I bend down near his tank.

You could have predatory haps in a 75.me personally I would get a native tank (if legal where you are) I would have some sunfish like greens and central long ears with madtoms or a stonecat you could have a few yellow perch in a 75. Here are some pictures (not mine) you can buy all these legally from Jonah's Aquarium

Because in a lot of states it is illegal to possess without a valid fishing license or bait license, which is another hassle store would have to go through to make sure anybody buying the fish had one.
