anyone here have a predator tank

[ivegotcrabs]

i have a 125 that i want to be a predator fowlr
my question is what are the cool colored compatible fish for a tank this size
right now i have a niger trigger and snowflake eel

also what to get for clean up crew

 

[jaydm93teg]

I used to have one:
fowlr predator with the following

Yellow tang
snowflake eel
barred moray eel
humu trigger

As far as the clean up crew there really arent a ton of options because all your typical stuff will become food really quick! I did a ton of water changes and was way over skimming and it seemed to keep fairly clean.

I had one 3 years ago, NO CUC triggers would always eat them. Live stock 1 huma huma trigger, 1 clown trigger, 1 dragon wrasse, 1 Powder blue, 1 snowflake eel, and 3 yellow tangs

I have seen anglers and sting fish for sale at a lfs. I always wondered what kind of tankmates they could have

I recommend a puffer, might be a tight squeeze but they are awesome fish. I wish I could put one in my reef tank without devastation.

yea i want a starry puffer but they get to be 2'6"
def gonna get a Porcupine Puffer

 

[ivegotcrabs]

anyone else
what was your fish list

Regarding the Clean Up Crew, has anyone tried Long Spined Sea Urchins? They can be helpful for algae, and would seem difficult for most predators to kill/eat.

I have a 210g predator my stock list is:

Porc Puffer
Goldflake Angel
Sharptail Eel
Lunare Wrasse
Blackback butterfly
Saddleback Butterfly
Blonde Naso Tang

I had a marbeled coral cat shark, but I gave it to someone with a bigger tank.

Working on getting a radiata lion and prolly another butterfly and regal angel.

As for CuC your best option would be the long spine black urchin imo.

I have a stars and strips puffer, mappa puffer, Lawn mower blenny, and a couple damsels I can't catch to get them out of there. I have a long tentacle urchin and 2 halloween crabs. They leave these guys only but eat anything else you put in the tank.

urchins wont really work if you have triggers my clown trigger would just flip them over and dinners served
