Mini monster?

[milkyboy]

I gotta spare 18" tank and thanks to all you guys I wanna put a monster in it. What is a mini monster suitable for a tank that size bearing in mind im in Australia and we can't get a lot of things.

No idea, plus I don't know what is legal and what isn't in Australia. This would be a one for guppy.

I'd be interested to hear about fish choices anyway to see what can actually go in there. I can get freshwater flounder. They don't look very monster though.

There are pike top minnows and stuff, but not sure if they are legal there.

!8" x ?, makes a difference, lol. Luciocephalus pulcher or Belonesox belizanus pop to mind but I bet they are banned there.

How about a nice aussie native Glossamia aprion (Mouth Almighty)? they are freshwater, get to 7 1/4 " (18 cm.), and are nicely predaceous while being common enough to not be on the protected list. Here is a pic by G. Aland.

hehe i didnt think they really existed-excellent. if you were on neighbours that would make my night. your playing the brazilians tomorro. anyway on fish... how about a stonefish type fish, theres a fw one and one that does best in brackish. they dont move around much either.

Is it called a butis butis?

I was thinking of going for a mouth almighty, my lfs has some at the moment for $11.95. I might check them out.
