20 long options

[Reefer07]

First off is it even worth having a 20 long fish only/aggressive tank?
I was thinking of starting one up as I have a spare one sitting around and a nice stand for it.
What would be some options as far as fish I could keep in it? Maybe a small snowflake eel?
I really like valentini puffers and I was wondering if a purple pseudo. could go with them?
As far as inverts and such I was thinking a coral banded shrimp and an urchin or something.
I know it's a smaller tank but any recommendations on some interesting fish for a tank like this would be appreciated.

It would make a nice frogfish/angler tank. Or maybe a dwarf octopus.

I think pair of clownfish would work.

Eh, already got those in my 29. I want something real interesting.

I second the Angler/frogfish tank.

what about a richardson's moray, they max out around 16" found in the carribbean and sold under assorted morays....

they are not reefsafe, so a FO, with the eel would be a nice lookin tank, maybe you could throw in a Dwarf Lionfish as well.

keep inmind, you will have a high bioload, and keepin up on wc's will be mandatory..

Mantis Shrimp tank!!!

haha i was thinking about setting up a mantis shrimp tank, mantis shrimp are so cool, but i would think a dwarf lion and little stuff should work

mantis shrimp or drawf lion but you ll get more activity with the mantis

a dwarf lion will end up outgrowing a 20, you need at least a 29 or 30 IMO, 55 is better.

I'd go with two yellow head jawfish...very comical fish, active too (more so than a frogfish). Give them tunnels at opposite ends of the tank and watch the fun! Get some interesting inverts in there too.
