if you have a bigger tank, i would suggest an arrowana or an African butterfly (I've always wanted some, but too big and agressive for my tank).

just thought i'd throw a couple ideas out.

Arrowana ??

Will arrowana eat feeders? Are they aggressive and entertaining to view when feeding?

they should eat feeders. everything i've seen says they're carnivores. the downside is that they're really expensive.
as for entertaining, i'm not really sure. but hey if it's eating feeder fish, then it's got to be somewhat enteratining

Jag cichlids are nice, should do what you want. Bear in mind it should still be around when you're 30 or so.....

I have a 100 gallon so there plenty of room for something.

Some types of chiclids like green terrors, there is a fish at my LFS that I saw swoop around and grab a feeder yesterday, then instead of eating it, it swam around carrying it for my entire time there. You might like that, but I dont know what its called. A ugly looking silver fish if anyone knows.
Just curious, why do you want something that will eat feeders?
