so i sold all my tanks because i didnt have time for it but i decided that i cant stay away from the hobby so a friend of mine is selling me an eclipse 12 gallon for $40 and i couldnt pass it up

so i wanted it stock it with one aggressive carnivore, i wanted to do exodons but you need at least 10 in a shoal so i dont want to over stock

any suggestions?

you could probably keep something like Belenosox in there...not sure if I spelled it right. They are definitely predators that will feed on fish, if that's what you're looking for

I kept mine with a school of tetras; he never bothered them.

He ate 10 snails in the first 2 minutes he was in my tank. It was hilarious to watch. He'd circle the snail, find the best angle and then suck it out of the shell. He was very personable.

I haven't tried it yet, but I plan on trying a pair of dwarf puffers in my 12G nano-cube . . . as I understand it, they are not aggressive and they love to eat snails
