    What can I put in a predator fish tank that will eat all the uneaten food? I have a Dogface puffer, Niger trigger, Picasso trigger, and a Lunar wrasse.

    Good flow, stir the substrate once in awhile, felt sock, big a-- skimmer.

    what size tank is it? that alone will play a big part of what you can fit in there with the others.

    they are in a 55 gal for now got a 130 gal they are going in.
     
  5. The statement about flow is a really good one as you can never have enough. I don't think that adding more bioload in the form of another fish to get rid of uneaten food which then creates more waste and the need for more filtration, and so on is a good idea. If you were going to add something to eat uneaten food that settles in your tank you might want to consider crabs or shrimp.

    Chris What do you do?, wake up twice a year and do post? LOL! I wouldn't put crabs and shrimp in that tank, probably wouldn't have a long life span.

    I put some hermits in about 2 weeks ago and they have been staying in the rocks and not getting eaten. maybe they will stay alive and dodge everything and not be lunch meat.
