    I have a 50 gallon tank with nothing in it that has been set up for about 3 months and I'm looking for an interesting carnivorous fish I can put in there.

    cool...as far as colorful? behavior? etc... color would have to be a blue spotted puffer. behavior? maybe a frog fish in my opinion. mantis shrimps are pretty cool too :) its all about what you like.

    Depends on what you mean by "carnivorous" -- are you talking about something aggressive and mean that's going to eat live prey, or something that just happens to eat flesh? Most reef fish are carnivorous, even the colorful, cute, innocent-looking ones LOL.
