Re: predator tank fish options

you will want at least 8-9 watts of light per gallon for nems and they need pristine water or they will die.

Re: predator tank fish options

Hibye, you already tried keeping an anemone under that amount of light, even though everyone told you it wouldn't be enough, and it died. Don't make the same mistake over and over again. Accept that with your lighting, there are just some animals that you won't be able to keep.

Re: predator tank fish options

I second the clown trigger suggestion. Mine is a bad MF, eats just about anything meaty and is always active in the daytime. $50 isn't so bad for a fish, really, when its so easy to drop twice that on a nice little purple acro or superman monti

Re: predator tank fish options

NO dont forget about VHS virus it is fatal and is rapidly infecting the Northeast. Freshwater fishes dont have the proper Omega 3 fatty acids to support marine fishes, you will have to buy saltwater feeders if you wish to live feed but that will make for more aggressive fishes. My vote is for an ANGLER FISH of some sort by the way.
