34g predator tank

[Keri]

Frogfish? (I think some stay small but you'd have to check what kind)

Interesting little fish, definately predatory! Ok with corals but i would check about CUC0

[truperc]

fuzzy dwarf lionfish are a good choice for that size of tank, maybe a fu man chu?

Maybe a dwarf eel?

[Keri]

Ooh, a golden dwarf moray would be awesome, pricey but gorgeous!

I don't think we could do any eels because we have a few family members who visit often that are petrified of anything snake-like---even worms---it's kinda funny. I love the frog fish idea, but I thought they weren't very active. I'm gonna look that up! Maybe a lionfish. Could I have both if they were about the same size?

[Keri]

By the book: No

I think it has been done though, like anything, but i'd worry about the bio-load of two heavy carnivores like that in a little tank. (Plus if one eats the other I think it's game-over for both)

What about a dwarf puffer?

A blue spotted puffer (aka blue spot toby)


a Pink-spotted puffer (aka Bennet's toby)


a valentini puffer

I think the puffers have to be kept singly and will eat your CUC but they are very interesting to watch.


Or, totally on a different note: what about a mantis shrimp? Maybe a little too much to watch to eat but it's agressive and smal!!

Nice......a puffer would work too. They're beautiful........hmmmmmm........

Thanks for the input. I've got a couple weeks to think about it as I'm transferring my couple of smaller fish into our 180g. It's gonna be fun getting out the goby/pistol shrimp pair. They are so anti-social.......So, any more thoughts, keep 'em coming! Really like the looks of the lions or the frogs.
