An Oddball for a 20 long

[Cichla dude]

Hello all. I am looking for something predatory that can live in a 20 long for ever. Their is nothing in their right now. Please threw me up with some suggestions.

 

[Stump]

Peacock Eels, Striped Peacock Eel, Zebra Spiny Eel, any other small Macrognathus species.


A Senegal Bichir would be cutting it close, but it could work as a solo fish...

Maybe a small pack of South American Puffers?

 

[ceeej31]

south american leaf fish, about as odd as they get

What could I have with those eels?? How big do those leaf fish get???? Any other suggestions

Senegal bichir would be cool and could work but my min tank size for him would be a 30.

I have a 20 long thats about to get 3 Angelicus Botia loaches. I have a few mollies that will keep them fat on fry & they are snail-eating Jedi's! The Ctepanoma leaf fish are pretty badass though. I would love to do a 20 long species tank of them one day. They just hang diagonally in the water under plants, then...Bam! Their mouths are HUGE.

A bass would be cool, but kinda cutting it close. as a solo fish i think it would probly work

Define Predatory? I mean, nearly all fish eat fish.

a bass would not work. get a bunch of exodons

exodons are cool. I think I am going to do this: African Butterfly fish, marbled Ctepanoma fish, and some tiger barbs.
