What is a predatory fish that stays very small?

[syddakyd]

i got a 29 and was thinking either 2 figure 8's or 1 green spotted but keep in mind the both need some salt. low end for the figure8 and high end brackish to marine for green spotted

ya I have 3 golden wonder killies! They are great LOL they tottaly think they are arowanas they chomp everything I put in
How big do butterflys get?
Wut do they eat?

African butterfly will hit 4 inches, but I wouldnt have them with Golden wonder killies. They both hang in the same tank region and I think the ABF will eat the killi. Its just a bad mix


Yeah I had a Golden Wonder Killi and he was impressive. I know what you mean about eating, mine jumped for a piece of krill one time, after seeing that I knew this little fish was crazy.


ABF will eat insects and small fish that can fit in its mouth. Takes pellets, freeze-dried stuff, frozen foods etc.

Dwarf Puffers, they are small and agressive.

BEst Puffer for your tank, A. Modestus hands down, small ,aggresive, Basically a neon green freshwater triggerfish, stays about 6 inches max i believe if that. PERFECT mini monster.

if you want it to be something that will eat feeders, then leaf fish (South American kind, not Ctenopoma) are a good option, but they are not easy fish too keep

 

[Bottomfeeder]

Bluegill, Redfin Pickerel, Firemouth Cichlid, Snail Bullhead, Convicts, Madtoms, Black Ghost Knife, Redtail Chalceus, etc etc. There's alot you can do with 55 gallons.

Belonesox belizanus. They're like mini muskellunge.

Bottomfeeder- a lot of those fish are too big for a 55, and some of the others are not piscivores.
