But if we ever work our way up to marine, my first choice would definitely be an angler ( http://liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=15+19 ).

Both came to us after they modeled for the LiveAquaria.com website. The Ornate Bichir lives in a 55 gallon corner tank with 2 angels, a Gold Gourami, a Paradise Fish, and a Long-fin Congo Tetra. Anything smaller silently disappears shortly after acclimation (usually the second evening, after we've gone home). He's at least a foot in length and 1-1/4" thick. He gets 2 whole silversides 3 times a week. The Albino Cuvier is a bit smaller. He's about 7" long and 3/4" thick. He lives in a 29 gallon planted aquarium. His tankmates include some beautiful Emperor Tetras and Pristella Tetras. While the occational sleeping beauty may become a snack, he seems quite happy to eat chopped silversides and sinking Hikari Massivore Pellets.
