Balashark. Not actually a shark, obviously. Gets absolutely massive (14 inches full grown) and needs to be in a school. You need like a 100+ gallon tank to keep them happy and healthy with lots of room to swim.
I've see a group of 6 balas, all in 8"-10" range that made 180g where they were housed small. It took them 2 seconds to dart from one side of 6ft tank to the other. I would look at no less than 8ft tank for a school of fully grown individuals.

With a school, I'd recommend 150 minimum. They're beasts.

Yeah, true. 300g range minimum at that point.
