Same, preds nearly got me back into marine a few months back... Need a big setup though to do what I want to do and it just would have cost me too much money... on the upside though it probably would have ended my marriage.
Lions, stoneys and eels. I always wanted a port jackson shark too but they get seriously big!

Pred tanks can be fun, but they are a bit limiting once you've got a lionfish, eel, stonefish, etc. cant add any corals as they'll be eaten... but each to their own. I actually got into marine in the first place because I wanted to keep an octopus! but after all the research I did, no way it was going to happen.

 

Cheers for all the kind words and feeback guys :)

 

 

Edit: If I ever did a pred tank, it would be to keep one of these guys... The Hawaiian Dragon Eel, looks completely prehistoric!

PJs are pretty cool, I've seen them a few times when I used to visit a marine shop up NOR.

 

Occys only live very short times in captivity, if they decide to ink the tank it will kill them, you literally need to have a brick on top of the lid of your tank to keep them escaping too... and on top of that you cant keep them with anything else :/ maybe one day!
