So my 55 should be done cycling by the end of the week, my ammonia levels are nearly zero. im thinking a reef isnt for me, dont have the time. so FOWLR is the way im goin. and puffers and triggers are really seeming like something i want. the only problem is, ive heard puffers are really aggressive. i have a longspine urshin, and i dont know if he would much rite through that, and my snails, ive heard people give puffers snails for TREATS?? anyone have a puffer? also, harlequin tusks are sweet looking fish, any experience anyone?

also, and reccomendations for fish would be great, any fish with good personality, that dont get too huge.

yeah, 6lines are great little fish...so long as they dont jump out of your tank the one nite you forget to close the lid...and then find it in the morning, still and dry on the floor...poor little guy

Look at my pics, my Jack Russel tries to attack my fish.

To answer your question, I would say trigs and puffers would probably eat snails, hermits, crabs, and urchins. Their mouths and teeth are made for crushing shells. I wouldn't go with them. Get a few clowns, an angel or maybe a tang. Or you could go with a lionfish and feed it live fish =)

yeah i had thought about lions...can u train them to eat frozen silversides or frozen squid? i wanted to get a wartskin angler to, and i know you can train them to eat frozen food.

I'm sure they eat whatever kinda stuff, they just gotta be hungry enough... I would definately do research on them though.

are lions okay with clowns, damsels, and eels?

I want some reccomendations folks...
