Single wet pet in a 220g planted

If you had to choose a single wet pet for a 220g planted tank what would it be?

Requirements:

Must NOT out grow the 220 during its' life expectency
Single fish only
MUST be plant friendly

What would you choose and why.

This is jsut for fun and a thought I bounce around with some others so curious what you guys would choose.

Arrowana for its ability to fill out nicely as a show fish and is generally calm except at feeding time.

Problem is they grow to 35 inches and really need a much bigger than then a 220 to live to their potential
