I just got a 125 gallon aquarium and I would like to just put one big predatory fish in it. I would like something that gets big, is active and aggressive, has an attractive color and/or pattern, and isn't terribly common among fish owners. Arrowanas grab my attention, but everybody has them. I would like something a little more rare. Any ideas??

A North American Bass? (Everybody has Peacocks)
Most of the uncommon ones are pretty stationary - Pike, Gar, etc, which is probably why not many people keep them, or at least not alone.

Tilapia buttikoferi is an amazing fish, and looks fantastic in a group, however they are not, by nature, predatory, per se. Their main diet is algae, snails, and small invertebrates.
I have never had one that had a strong appetite for anything else, other than pellets.
