Hey everybody! well, I know you guys hear this question a lot but I am completely stuck

I was going to put 4 - 6 Exodon's in my 10 gallon but apparently it wont be enough space? (but they are only 2 - 3 inches.. so im not sure) opinions on this please?

If Exodons are out of the question, what could you guys suggest that could fit in this tank for a good while? (and not get over like 4 - 5 inches adult size)

I'd preffer if its a fish eater, I have a source of various fish feeders for dirt cheap, and I also breed Superworms for my savannah monitor, which I heard most predatory fish go crazy for

Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks
 
Considering the size of the tank, there isn't many fish eating fish options really... but a good predatory fish that you could try is 3 dwarf puffers, 2F - 1M ratio with some cherry red shrimp and maybe an otto or two...

Thanks! ill look into Dwarf puffers :)

My only thing is that Exodons are only a tad bigger than the fish I have in it right now to cycle, and he has so much room he doesn't even know what to do with himself (and this lil guy is 2 - 3 inches just like Exo's)

So, shouldn't it be okay to have a 4 - 6 group Exodon shoal in there?

If possible I would love to get Exodons, they are my favourite :)

Thanks again!

I just looked up the Asian Tiger Lobster, they look really cool! and perfect size (3 - 4 inches)

If I did get one of these guys would he readily eat live fish or would it have to be some sort of dead food item that hits the bottom of the aquarium?

Thanks!

damn! lol, I think im sold.

They are really cool and im not gonna find much else, so instead ive decided to get a Asian Tiger Lobster for the 10 gal, and move my 7 - 8 foot Macklot's python out of his 65 gallon (36 L x 24 H x 18 w) and into a tub

That way I can use the 65 gal for some bigger predatory fish, and perhaps I can breed the lobsters as food for my Savannah monitor and keep them as pets :)

What are some bigger predatory fish I can put in my 65 gallon?

Thanks!
