A indigo hamlet. Small ambush predator won't get large but will hunt and eat smaller fish.Little hunters: What are the top small predator fish?
Often when we think about predator fish, we think about tank busters and huge mouths, but what about the smaller predators that could do well in a 55-gallon tank or even in a nano tank? There are some little ones that are hunters so today let’s talk about them. What small predators have you kept or are familiar with? Can they be kept with corals? What about tank mates? Maybe you're not familiar with some of the fish in the poll - I encourage you to take the time to use the R2R search feature and explore these small predators. Please share your opinions and experiences with small predator fish in the comments that follow!

I had one that was doing very well till it ate a rubberbandWhile i cannot speak to their care but I've always admired the Hamlets. not sure why they aren't represented very well in the hobby.
Care is very easy. They readily take frozen food and are very active feeders.While i cannot speak to their care but I've always admired the Hamlets. not sure why they aren't represented very well in the hobby.
They are great and very nice colorI really have to remember these guys when recommending tank mates for the dwarf and medium lions.
