    hey guys!
    so for the last 15 years I have been dreaming of having this perfect tank with

    A snowflake eel who is most peaceful at times but when the prey comes to him he STRIKES and eats the fish. Eels have been my favorite fish ever since I was a little kid.

    A comet grouper (marine betta) who is mostly shy and scared and mimics the white mouthed moray but when a small guppy comes swimming by he wraps his tail around and devours the fish.

    A tomato clown for his courage to break up fights from my two damsels in my old 20g and majestically eats his pellets. Peaceful but territorial. (R.I.P 2 damsels died from ich)

    A green spotted puffer who snatches small defenseless snails and munches on them like a fat kid eating chocolate ;D

    A dwarf zebra lionfish who quickly chomps down on a goldfish with nothing less than a tail sticking out. Beautiful yet deadly

    A pincussion sea urchin the way they look is amazing and I have always loved seeing them on family vacations. is a great clean up crew for predator tanks.

    A group of dwarf hermit crabs that always cheer me up :)
    I was once taking care of a friends 30 gallon tall tank and he had this huge ancient piece of live rock of a coral which I had left a pellet on, so I watched 2 movies and came back just in time the hermit crab climed up the live rock and right when he got on the very top he fell over and went back to the bottom :lol: I laughed for a good five minutes. One of the wrasses ended up eating it. These things are fast for food!

    A Horseshoe crab which I know don't live long :( but I have been researching them since I was a kid and I think I know how to give them happier lives ;)

    A Turbo Snail which have helped me in so many of my algae outbreaks. In one of my first aquariums he ate so much algae and became so fat he could hardly move anymore ;D But he was still very cool with his clam on his shell.

    But I feel I'm missing something to complete the tank, it has been bugging me for the last 2 years and I still can't decide. I have a 55 gallon filled with caves (60 pounds of live rock) and my first fish (the tomato clown) is in there along with 3 hermit crabs.

    What do you think? :cheesy:

    I don't know a lot about predator tanks, but I think the clown is small enough for a snack. I like your signature though!

    My clown is being moved to a 30 gallon tank with some smaller fish like gobys and cardinals in the summer.
