Aggressive 20 gallon

[gplundberg]

I am looking into making a an aggressive 20 gallon tank with only one fish like a dwarf lionfish or something along those lines

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Pretty much as aggressive as you can get in a 20 is a pair of clowns

 

[gplundberg]

Would maroon clowns fit

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

No, occs or percs

One of the smaller anglers may work

Good call, I imagine one of the smaller hawks could be ok too

Haha I've just always liked anglers, just don't have a tank for one. But yeah a falco hawk could work as well. The angler would be species only.

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Anglers are pretty cool, I've always been interested my self. I wouldn't add any thing with the hawk that can fit in a 20 eithet

 

[gplundberg]

Can hawk fish eat other fish though

 

[gplundberg]

Or shrimp

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Shrimp yes fish no but they will bully pretty much anything

Could a fuzzy dwarf lionfish live in a 20

 

[bribo12]

No it cant

 

[gplundberg]

Do hawk fish swim around a lot or just stay hidden or at the bottom

What kind and how active are they i would assume they are not active though

I think they perch at the top of the tank and then dive down on their prey. Upgrade your tank will increase what fish you can stock.

 

[Salty_Dawg]

They won't be active, they lure their prey to them.

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

You don't really want an active fish because the tank is to small. The fact that most of these fish are perchers not open swimmers is what makes them possible for you

 

[bribo12]

Painteds stay relatively small. You will need to keep up on wc as they're very messy

Dwarf lions are given that name because they don't get quite as large as a volitan. They do get to be almost volleyball sized however. Imagine a volleyball in a 20 gallon tank.

Anglers, stonefish, things like that that don't swim much, or at all, will work.
