Predator tank - Can we see yours?

What's that black wrasse? Cool looking fish

That's a dusky wrasse, halichoeres marginatus. He's a very neat fish, the wrasses are always entertaining.
The other 2 wrasses are the red coris - coris gaimard, and timor wrasse - halichoeres timorensis.

The closest thing to a predator tank I ever had was about two decades ago when I had a maroon clown!

I had a more predator dominated tank in my 125! Had 4 lions, eels, triggers and a grouper (marine betta). I had to surrender my lion fish because Im deathly allergic to them. I now keep just eels and my marine betta, and recently got a baby snapper and a porcupine puffer. For a 90 gallon you could do a dwarf lion, one of the smaller (2 foot) eels, and leaf fish is also an option. I really love my marine betta, he is shy but when he is out he is stunning!

How did you learn you are allergic? I really want a lionfish, even if it’s only a dwarf until I get a bigger tank. I’m allergic to wasp but I haven’t seen any confirmation if lionfish venom will affect me the same way or not.

I got stung twice. Had to be rushed to the ER both times with a severe life threatening allergic reaction. And the doctor consulted a specialist I guess after they got me stable as a lionfish sting was not something they had seen before in CO and I guess the specialist said the venom had some of the same properties as bee and wasp stings so their conclusion was I was probably severely allergic to those too
