I have exprence with sault and fresh water fish. i use to have fish before, but i quit my hobbie. and gave my fish away, now that i want to keep fish again, insted of buying lots of colorful fish, im going to put 1 large aggressive fish in my 100 us gallon tank. i dont have much money to spare, because i have to buy my plants and some other decorations for my tank again because my plants died and i lost lots of rocks and caves.

i was thinking of buying a puffer fish, this is the kind i want to keep:

But i dont know how big this fish grows and how fast. i dont even know the name of this fish.

i live in canada, so if anyone has any suggestions of 1 large fish i can buy that lives for preety long and grows fast and is really aggresive and interesting to keep, and dosent cost too much, like more than 150 dollars, please leave the name and some info on th fish. also info on the puffer fish as well.

PS: please do not tell me that its a bad idea because it will kill my other fish, i dont have any fish so the fish i buy will not have a tank mate.

I think that is a porcupine puffer-fish. They will eat smaller fish and though are found in groups in the wild don't do well with their own. They also have teeth that grow their whole lives so need hard shelled food to wear them down. I think an eel would be a cool addition though I'm unsure of puffer/ eel compatibility.
 
as long as you got only one fish how do you expect to see its aggressive side? anyway, i'm not experienced with saltwater stuff but for freshwater i suggest flower horn cichlids (http://www.flowerhorn.asia/)
 
Pound for pound the Shark, the Angel fish, or the Parrot fish is your best bet for an aggressive fish.
 
If you care for fresh water fish, Wolf fish will meet your desire,
