    i want to make my 75 gallon tank into a predator tank. what would be good for that size of tank? i like the panther groupers and puffer fish and triggers.
    lionfish are cool but i don't want to have to feed them live foods. i also like eels but scared that they will escape to their death.
    any suggestions are appreciated.

    I think the tank is too small for most groupers and clown triggers.

    The panther needs a 300 gallon tank. The spotted grouper and soapfish would be OK. Most triggers would be OK.

    Fu Manchu lionfish would work well in that size tank. Toadfish are pretty interesting too.

    what kind of cuc do predator tanks have? i would imagine everything would eventually become dinner for the main inhabitants.
