55 gallon aggressive tank ideas.

[Joeganja]

I recently got a 55 gallon and I need ideas for some aggrasive fish. I have a shark egg that's soon going to hatch. I also have a fox face and a dogface puffer. Anyone have any ideas?

I wouldn't recommend adding anymore. Each of the fish you have listed typically require a tank more than twice the size of yours (the foxface is the smallest and a 125 is the recommended minimum tank size). You might get by for a short time, but I would recommend you consider rehoming those and finding some predators that would thrive more readily in a tank the size of yours. HTH

The shark egg I am assuming is a Black Banded Cat Shark...if so that tank is way too small since they can get up to 42" long. Unless you have a bigger tank to add him to I would get rid of it.

55 gallon is pretty limited....you could go with a smaller moray and some damsels added for color.

I just added a green wolf eel to my 100 predator tank...cool fish, and that will work in a 55.
