When we think of barracuda's we often think of the Great Barracuda which reach around 5 feet and are absolutely not suitable for a home aquarium. But there are other species of barracuda like the yellowtail barracuda (Sphyraena flavicauda) which reaches a max of 24 inches and on average 14-16...

I am well aware wrasse of the genus Thalassoma specifically Lunare, Hardicke and Paddlefin are extremely aggressive and will destroy a cleanup crew. I know they can also bully small fish but is it true wrasse of this genus will actually prey on small fish as well? Would damsels, anthias...

Just upgraded to a Red Sea 3XL 900 G2+, and I realized that it’s not gonna be big enough for my hi-fin snapper long term… I have room in my basement for any size pool pond, I was thinking something around 8-10’ diameter , 3’ high, so around 1k gallons. 1. Is there really any fish that I can’t...

Hello, I am looking for stocking advice for a tank that I have collecting dust. Its a JBJ 20gallon AIO and I really would like a centerpiece resident. I am looking to house only one fish in this tank but somethin unique. I would like to house a predator but I don't think anything would be...

Hello I recently got a dwarf lionfish it’s about 3 or 4 inches big. He’s out of quarantine but I’m having a hard time getting him to eat, I’ve tried everything ghost shrimp, guppies and mysis shrimp. He ate 2 ghost shrimps last week when I had him in a 12x6 inch acclamation box. Now he’s in a 10...

Hi, I’ve kept reef tanks before but have little to no knowledge on predatory fish. I’m interested in keeping some kind of predatory fish, like a wasp fish or frog fish but like I said have no idea what would be good for a 10 gallon tank, or if there is anything at all. Any fish you all would...

So, a bit of a hypothetical variation on a frequently asked question, but I'm wondering about potential long-term tank mates for eels. Specifically, I'm wondering about potential predator and invert tank mates with pebble-tooth eels: lionfish, anglers, scorpionfish, walking batfish...

Forty-two years ago (not long after I graduated high school), I was living in a small 700 sqft walk up flat and I really wanted to adopt a small dog. However, I could not afford the required damage deposit! As luck would have it fish were not subject to the deposit, so I purchased the first of...

I have a 75 gallon with a filter canister that has 525 gph will that be good for a mini predator tank since they have a huge bio load or should it be more also it will have 4 predatory fish

Looking for some ideas!! I have a 30 gallon reef aquarium that crashed a few months ago, lost everything except 2 clowns that I have since moved to another tank. The tank is much better and I am now considering stocking it again, but I want to do a species specific tank. Any Suggestions??

Hi there, we have had Mochi, our wartskin frogfish, for almost a year now and we feed him approx. 2 saltwater shrimp every other day and he has stayed there same size (about an inch) for maybe 6-8 months. It just doesn’t seem like he is growing and I’m not sure why. I don’t want to over...

Just curious if there are any single predatory fish or invertebrates that can live comfortably alone in a 14gal biocube aio? I'm considering a small mantis shrimp but I'm interested in what other options are out there

Hello! Welcome to the build thread. In the past I have made build threads but had to tear the tank down due to relocation for my job. I am now able to start my journey into the marine predator tank world. In this thread there will be lots of pictures and explanations when the tank gets up and...

I have a 36 gallon reef. I’ve been really busy and I’m not home for most of the summer so my family has been taking care of my tank. I’ve already had 2 coral die since they’ve been taking care of it. I’ve been considering converting my tank into a predator tank. In terms of fish atm I have 2...

I just added two brand new species to our site and an old favorite! First we have the lyretail damselfish, these are actually very cool damsels that like to school in the mid level of the reef tank. The black and yellow pattern really stands out in a reef tank so much so that I put a school of...

Hey all- Been a lurker here for a while, but decided to create a build thread for my latest tank :D When I rebooted this tank my goal was to create a beautiful macroalgae display that would require minimal maintenance. Along the way, I started to notice that most of the things I planned on...
