Peacock mantis or Angler

[Badfish]

+1 for Mantis, I love mine. Plus how could you say no to a face like this?

I had a 4-5 inch angler with a 3 inch mantis in a 14 gallon biocube. they did fine. the angler got most of the food as it did not touch the gravel. i had to lure the angler to one side then drop a silverside to the mantis. mantis is too quick and the angler way too slow to even think about going after the mantis.

hmmm such a hard decision because it would be an expensive meal.

what about a dwarf lion and possibly a small puffer and small trigger?

what are some other ideas for predator tank? i want something that literally wrecks things.

what about a scorpion fish, fuzzy dwarf, and a snowflake eel?

I've always thought that clown triggers were cool. If you're deciding between the mantis and angler, I would go towards the angler as well.

I ended up getting the angler after much debate, thanks for voting!
