Re: predator tank fish options
That ray still is too big for a 30 gallon. Keep in mind, with predators like that, you probably won't be able to keep more than 2 or 3 fish in a 30 gallon tank. Predators eat a lot more and produce a lot more waste than other types of fish.

Re: predator tank fish options
Even your 125 is too small for a ray. they need big time room, the minimum water listed for that is total crap

Re: predator tank fish options
A Panther Grouper has great personallity, and a Dragon eel would be happy for two to four years at least, unless you feed him heavily on a daily basis.

Sorry, but the longest I have ever kept any fish has been only a couple of years. Any fish I have had for a long time I have always been willing to sell when I was offered at least two or three times what I paid for it. I used to keep fish because it seemed to be expected that all people kept fish if they kept a reef. The last fish I have owned was in 1999, and that was a dragon eel. My twice weekly water changes were twice as large with him as they had been without him in a SPS colony/display tank. It was a 180 gallon AGA tank, with one homemade Beckett skimmer, and 200 lbs of live rock.
