100-Gallon Predator Aquarium—Indo-Pacific
From Microcosm Aquarium Explorer
[edit] A Model Marine Aquarium
Here is a fish community for the aquarist drawn to more voracious pets. For authenticity and to provide a sense of security to this collection of hunters, be sure to furnish plenty of rocky shelter, in the form of live rock canyons and caves, for the moray eel, Zebra Lionfish, and the Carpet Eel Blenny.
As the “focal species” in this tank, the Common or Volitans Lionfish will grow large with magnificent finnage and will need open swimming space.
There are several jumpers in this group, so a secure top is mandatory.
- 1 Snowflake Moray Eel Echidna nebulosa
- 2 Zebra Lionfish Dendrochirus zebra
- 1 Common Lionfish Pterois volitans
- 1 Carpet Eel Blenny Congrogadus subducens
- 1 Bluechin Triggerfish Xanthichthys auromarginatus
