Dude......your gonna be hard pressed to find any kind of suitable "tankmate/snack"......Laurie and I watched a show where a scorpion fish ate a lionfish!.......yes a lionfish!  .....they are capable of eating a fish that is 2/3 length.... |
There are a few good candidates im looking for. But my foxface was almost swallowed whole, I think his venom saved him.

I realise how dangerous it is. Painful enough that some people request their affected area to be removed, can kill a full grown human in under 2 hours. How ever the treatment is simple. Because it is a protein based venom, it would be denatured by heat. So recommended treatment even over anti-venom is heat. Over 45C degrees will simply break it down.
Also, they are completely lazy, ive fed him by hand last time, you pretty much would have to grind your hand into him to anger him.
