i am making a 55 gallon pred tank to grow out a porq and dog face babys and am looking for some other fish to put into it (they CAN require a larger tank eventually, i own a large tank) any ideas? can be fish that live there forever or need larger.
 
What's the size of your larger tank?
6 foot x 2 foot is the one I have room in, my baby dog face is very small so he’s getting fattened up in a 20 long rn and then goes into the 55 in about a month or two once it’s cycled, then in a year or so he’s going into the big tank.
 
See if the mods will move this over to the Predator section where those eyes are used to this question …
I like Radiata lionfish and Panther Groupers…but thats me .,,,
I would suggest staying away from panther groupers. These fish grow VERY large (close to 2 feet) very quickly and it's suggested they have a 300g or larger tank.
@lion king should have some great suggestions though
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
