ideas for species only tank?

If you could have a species only tank (fish) what would it be?

I would do sharks, but I will never have a tank large enough to house them! I guess I can only dream! lol

Frogfish which hunt rather than simply act as ambush predators.

+1 they are a cool species

Seahorses and pipefish

Anthias would be sweet.

Great ideas....I love the frogfish...perhaps leaf fish. Seahorses are labor intensive! Key would be getting frogfish to eat frozen foods!

Seahorses and pipefish here too. love them

Rhinopias are sweet

Pipefish, sea horses and garden eels would be my setup

Gold stripe maroon pair or tomato clown pair with bta's

An SPS tank with a school of Achilles tangs, obviously it would need to be huge so they didn't try to murder each other
