If you had the option to do a "Species Only" Tank, what would you stock it with?

Come to think of it, if I "had the option" ie the money, then probably a planted marine tank with sea dragons

Also some of my all time favorites. Was lucky enough to work with both leafy and weedies for a few years. The cost of live mysids to sustain them is horrendous. So cool, though!

I've been lucky enough to do several species only tanks I really liked; orange spotted filefish, garden eels, rhinopias, mantis shrimp, but I'd do cuttles again, no brainer . Have done Metasepia sp., but would love to try S. latimanus.

In no particular order…

1. Peacock mantis
2. Mandarin only tank with a butt load of macro.
3. Blue spot jawfish kept in an ideal set up.
4. Turtles

I have already setup my dream species only tank for my peacock mantis shrimp Bruce. He is defintitley the most amazing critter I've ever kept.
