most agresive fish

[Dino88]

what the most agresive fish 4 a 280 gallon marine tank



thx

[Miles]

Trigger or Wolf Moray ?

[Mattcomptonassvanhorn]

Depends on whats already in there.

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Ungulated trigger, this one is mine.. hes only about 4 inches but a real jerk... I hear when they get bigger there one fish only... They dont like any other fish in there tank... :headbang2

[Dino88]

yeah ?but if i get a clown trigger what can b kept with him?

is he really that agressive?,,,what about baracudas ?

[Dino88]

oh and nothing in thier,its brand new and im cycling it 2morrow,i was gonna get a shoal of piranhas in thier but i wanna see whats better.predatory marines or tropical

[smellsfishy]

If your thinking of going tropical, yeah piranhas are obviously aggresive but their ugly. In my opinion, red devils are the all out meanest fish, and a beautiful fish at that. They pick on everyone with no stopping. He ate my oscar in half simply because he was the only threat in the tank. He lives will with plecos and irridescent cat fish. Probably because he could never catch them.

[Mattcomptonassvanhorn]

well man if your looking for whats more aggresive fresh or salt, it would be fresh hands down, Ive seen some big freshwater *******s. Unless of course you planning on gettin a baby great white in a temporary 280, then that would be a different case. :22_yikes:

[piranha45]

queen trigger, clown trigger, undulated trigger, blueline trigger, titan trigger...

[Dino88]

can i put them 2gether?

[Dino88]

i wanna make it as preditory as posible :)

[bluedempsey]

can i put them 2gether?

when they r small.. but still risky

[Doc]

Octopus

Triggers are hit or miss on nasty.
I had a 5+" undulated that was a big baby.(Housed with a 46+" Green Moray)

A friend has a yellow tang that will KILL ANYTHING in the tank with him, doesn't make him scary. A friend has a huma that bites spiny box fish, porcupine puffers, groupers.


I'd engineer a foul tempered octopus.......

[bluedempsey]

octo's r cool but hard to care for
and on the down side most only live a year!!! sux huh :headshake

[Dino88]

one year?!?!? thats bad,

ok how bout baracudas,eels ,little sharks,groupers lion fish????

[Mattcomptonassvanhorn]

If there adults Im going to have to give you a hell no, but if they are juveniles you might have chance.

[Dino88]

:) ok how bout if they grow up 2gether?

how bout if i got 2 eels and a clown trigger?

is that a good pred tank or no?


u got any better ideas?

[Mattcomptonassvanhorn]

Im not saying you cant do that. What I am saying is that adults are morre predatory and they will not get along, so what I am saying is that if you want more than one fish in there you have got to start out young. :headbang2

[Mattcomptonassvanhorn]

If you want to see some aggresiv salt beasts then you should whatch thepacks video :headbang2 :headbang2

[Dino88]

so if i get a trigger 2 eels and maybe a lion fish....as babies ,when they get older everything should be ok?


oh and r they the only preditory fish u can keep in a 280 gallon?


thx

[Mattcomptonassvanhorn]

You can put the lionfish in at any time Ive done that and Ive never had any probs putting an adult lion in a tank of monsters. The fish are a little smarter than you might think. But on the other ones start young and take you time. Ill try to get you a list of badass fish you can then add later.

[Dino88]

cheers mate youve been a great help

[Mattcomptonassvanhorn]

DRAGON SEA MOTH
EMPEROR ANGELFISH
QUEEN ANGELFISH
FRENCH ANGELFISH
HARLEQUIN TUSKFISH-BADASS!
AROTHON PUFFERS-ANY OF THEM THEY ARE ALL HUGE!
CAT SHARKS
SCORPIONFISH- GOTTA BE LARGE THOUGH!
STINGRAYS
ANY LARGE GROUPER
LIONFISH- PREFERABLY VOLITAN GOT TO BE BIG! :drool:
THREADFIN OR LOOKDOWN :drool:
THOSE ARE ALL GOOD FISH THAT YOU CAN ADD LATER TO YOUR EEL/ TRIGGER COLLECTION

[Dino88]

sshiiiittt,,,,,all of them? nice one u cool man

[Mattcomptonassvanhorn]

ALL you got to understand is that as longas your next addition is same size if not larger than the fish already in there you will be all right.

[Dino88]

**** man ,them stingrays look hot,


what do they eat? how do they atack? they just whip they tail ?

[bluedempsey]

i wana say yes,but trigger are like a ticking time bomb
you never know.

[guppy]

Do you want fighters or eaters, if eaters try inshore lizard fish, fast ambush predators that dart up from the bottom and eat fair size fish, triggers are fighters, they harrass other fish to death like puffers will. according to the books the worst thing to stick in with a trigger is another trigger.

triggers and damsels/psuedos are the only reason I'd ever get a saltwater tank. those are picassos, right?

[bluedempsey]

those are picassos, right?[/QUOTE]

yes sir

i just got a 240 gal
i want to put a monsta fish in it
what would be cool

i was thinkin
a bumble bee grouper (marine)

wat u think?

it's going to go in the store!

[piranha45]

you apparently didn't hear what happened to the "freshwater" grouper that was raffled off here a couple weeks earlier; it DIED a few days after shipping. Definitely a "freshwater" fish, alright :headshake I knew such a thing couldn't exist.


As for my 2 cents, I'd stock it with a Queen or Titan trigger, and then a handful of pseudos/damsels. A miniatus grouper would be cool too, though.

[bluedempsey]

i have sold several sw bumble's
and they all were fine. :screwy:

queen sounds cool

[piranha45]

yeah, saltwater fish kept in saltwater do surprisingly well! some people seemed to think a saltwater fish kept in freshwater would do surprisingly well too... guess they were proven wrong :P

[guppy]

Well, looks like the books are wrong, what did I expect from a book titled " SALTWATER FOR DUMMIES"?

[Ph0etus]

I know a lot of people that house triggers together when they're small, but once they get around 4 to 5 inches they attack each other non stop. Keeping more than one trigger in a tank just isn't a good idea no matter what size they are.

[EZHOOPS]

I would have to agree, Triggers are FAR prettier and have more personality than a piranha. Not to mention the fact that you can hear them break bones when they eat their prey. Saltwater Hands down has much more beautiful and aggressive fish.
