What to do with a 40B

speedsport · 12/31/2009, 10:03 PM

When I get my 125 up and going I will have my 40B set up to do some thing with.

So what would you all do with it? Please don't say frag tank cause I'm not doing much with corals in the 125. I was thinking some thing predatory maybe. No corals. It will be in my basement so temps will stay low so I could do some thing that requires colder water.

Thanks.

A small variety of cuttlefish?

how about a sea horse tank?

speedsport · 12/31/2009, 10:16 PM

Those are both things I would like to do. But the seahorses need more height.

Any one know of a cuddlefish that is small and where to get one?

Thanks

Sump? They make great sumps.

Seahorses will be fine in a 40g breeder. The height is needed for mating.

Also, there are lots of cool mantis shrimp as well. Check out the mantis forum.

What about one of those fish, I forget what they are called. They blend into the rock, an when fish get to close they eat em. What were they called? Id try that if the tank had the room.

It would be a stone fish or you may be thinking of an angler fish. I had a stone fish before I broke down my 75g, I had him for about 2 years.
