    well you learn something new everyday :)
    well at least the rest on my list might work. ( maybe the cuttle fish will work, very neat looking)

    my 20 has proven itself to be invert safe, been able to keep a nerite, hermit and 2 ceriths a live for a few weeks now, i wasnt sure if its had copper in there beforek, so i guess not, so mantis would be ok :)

    id probably have to order any of these online, i know LiveA sells the others, is there a good site that sells mantis

    sounds like they would be easier to feed then the others and they are hardy so i wouldnt have to really about my parameters, i really slack on maintanance on the 20, hence the really bad cyano problem

    you couldnt do a dwarf zebra or a fuzzy dwarf lionfish, but a fu man chu lionfish would work. they max out at 4 inches. not getting very big, they are also pretty cool looking. the only down side to fu manch chu lionfish is that they are VERY hard to get on frozen foods. any more questions on frogfish/anglers or lionfish? lol

    mantis shrimp are pretty cool. or you could get a breeding pair of clownfish, a FAKE anemone and see where that goes. or just do a non-photosynthetic cnidarian tank. that sounds cool to me.
