Predator Tank

[ZoddyZod]

any updates on this tank? Sounded like a very interesting set-up.

Yeah things are on hold whilst I get another building built that is going to become the dive centre. My expenses for this project have been approved by the Investor so I should be able to start as soon as possible whether he signed the piece of paper without looking might come into question though.... As I doubt he will remember approving a massive predator tank.

I have a new project for the house that I am renting which involves a pond on the 4th floor not sure whether to post in cold ponds or large tropical tanks though as I am in Nam its a bit different with outside temps.

I'd say 3 or 4" wide would be good for the snowflake. Do a search on wetwebmedia.com and see how big in diameter for sure.


Shark, lionfish and snowflake eel should generally be alright. Shark and a bluespot(assuming a ray?) need a ton of ground space and not much rock, esp the ray. Be sure to use fine sand as well. A wider instead of taller tank is better for both the shark and ray. If you could make it wider instead, that would be better.

I might be concerned about the lobster, ray, shark combo. Even if the ray/shark aren't big enough to take a shot at the lobster will the lobster pick on them since they are bottom dwellers? You could try it and see how it goes.

Garden eels need a deep sand bed and shouldn't be housed with fishes like these.
