Cat shark, Tesselata eel, and a stars and stripes puffer.

These fish would also come with a 2000gallon tank, a bigger house and free fish consultation from Aquaman so they don't kill eachother or eat coral.

Blue-spotted maskray (Neotrygon kuhlii)
1662A487-1289-449D-878F-4A2BE549A6B3.jpeg

Hardier than the Bluespotted ribbontail ray (Taeniura lymma), but grows absolutely massive.

Hey... Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. That is an old post though. I got a YT from Biota several months back. It is the showpiece fish for my 55g.

Like the Flashlight fish tank in the California Academy of Sciences? You can purchase those fish off of LiveAquaria, occasionally.
those are coo but I'm talking about the deep water anglerfish and eels the ones with huge teeth and tiny body lol

I'd love to have a blue spotted jawfish in my reef tank.. They are low temperature and don't do well at 78F.
I had one for years!! They are amazing fish, one of my favorite, no question. The whole “cool water” species is relative. I kept mine 78-80 degrees for years and it was extremely happy and healthy! It wasn’t til my huge coral banded shrimp got him that he finally past away… needless to say I no longer have that shrimp lol. Don’t let the hype around water temp scare you off! You’ll be happy

A copper band butterfly, unfortunately I have yet to find a tank bred copperband, and my tank isn't having anything wild caught due to the detrimental effect it has on wild populations and reef damage, and being in the uk males it incredibly difficult to get anything for my tank, so I can't be too choosy about what I put in there when I do see something tank bred otherwise I would have an empty tank, but I did manage to get a trio of purple tangs tank bred. Saw some yellows on sale much smaller than my purples a couple of months later at a more sensible price than the last one he had, unfortunately I already had the purples by then so couldn't risk adding a yellow or would end up with a dead yellow tang.

I second a Clown Trigger. Maybe someday with a much larger tank.
I have a beautiful clown trigger in my 180 tank... I worried about adding him at first with an established Humu Humu, but there were no problems at all.. Those 2 could care less about each other.
