 |  Which Fish?
Hey guys I have some questions regarding my 56g tank, I have taken it down and placed everything in my 90g. Everyone is doing well expect for my clowns…they both die within a day of having them in there. I just had my water tested and everything is good so I would imagine that stress got the best of them. May they rest in peace . Ok so I decide I would make my 56g into my predator tank but don’t know what fish to put in there that wont go off killing each other. I am leaning towards a lion fish and a grouper, but I don’t know how well they will get along. Can anyone point me in the right direction; I need help choosing the right fish.
Thanks Gabe. _________ 90g reef tank (almost done), Single over flow with a 20g sump. ASM G2 protein skimmer

Grouper would get to big, but a lion would be great. You mite get away with a snowflake eel, but they get large tooo. Um... You could get some cool wrasses that are not reef safe. They come in all colors, and will get along nicely in a preditor tank. Um... buterflyfish, hawkfish, mybe a puffer. The list goes on, the only thing limiting you is the size of your tank. You could get a dwarf angel, but a large angel want fit, and most all tangs get to big.
Maroon clowns, and tomato clowns get large and are aggressive enough to hold there own. Let us know how it goes, I alway wanted a preditor tank,

I'm a sucker for triggers, and lions (and bears oh my!!! sorry had to do it). But seriously Birchell is right you could go so many different ways with this... Take your time, do your research and get what you want... And let us know how it goes.
