I am looking at setting up a 20 gallon predator tank. I've had the tank or a while just sitting around and was thinking of doing something with it. I want to set up a little predator tank, but I don't know what type of predator fish I could put in it. So, what types of predators can I put in it?

Honestly I cannot think of any predator fish that would be suitable in a tank that size other then an angler -> look up videos of them eating and blending with their surroundings it's a very cool thing to watch.

I love clown angler fish. They have great colors and they are one of the smaller anglers so one will do great in a 20

In that size tank the only thing that comes to mind is a wartskin angler, make sure it is a warty I've seen some post pictures of painted anglers thinking they are wartys. Wartys stay smaller, and are really cool fish. I just set up a 30g for one as we speak, I've had 2 painted anglers before.
