what is a vampire

nvm i found it

undulated trigger, or a tesselat eel are both pretty BadA--!

I would say a queen trigger but I don't think your 150g will house it as an adult. Need at least a 24' wide tank. Undulate for sure in a 150g.

[AquaKnight]

I think he's looking for suggestion for his now empty 55gal, not the 150?

[WuHT]

well you won't know how aggressive it is, unless you have something for it to beat up on.

Generally, fish by themselves are rather peaceful (even if they're fighting with their reflections)

undulate trigger

i had an 8" clown trigger and he was one of the nastiest fish i have ever seen i couldnt even put my hands in the tank to do maintenance

Is it a 55g or a 150g bro? Your post is a little confusing.

[linyreefer]

undulated trigger is very nasty.

[devils_rejects]

In a 55 the undulated trigger wouldnt be a bad choice .

[DaltonJames]

ya it is my 55 i might get the eel

[stdreb27]

For a 55 DEFINATELY get an eel.

lol i have a vampire pseude and never knew it. Its not that mean hes in with some other fish and he is the one getting put in its place. I must say though it is wicked and mean looking. Its got big teeth, its pretty cool

[DamnPepShrimp]

A tesselata eel will not work in a 55g! I'd say even in a 150g, they get huge! If you are starting the fish off in your 55g then moving it to your 150g when it gets older, and that will be it's home for life. I would go with the undulated trigger.

[FishyMel]

I would say a 55 would work for an undulate trigger tank. The undulates are the nastiest

[Sharkbait74]

Ok, i'm the Party Pooper. Putting any moray eel in a 55g tank as a permanent home is not good.

I'd think the Undulated, or Queen Trigger?? Or, if you want a challenge, get a small octopus and keep a tight lid on it.

[warriorss08]

i've seen some pretty mean blue line triggers.

[devils_rejects]

NO WAY ON THE QUEEN . Your asking for issues .

[fish4lyfe]

Excuse any moray eel in a 55, theres is atleast 2 species that i know of that could easily be put in a 55 gal and be happy. Dwarf moray and the snowflake moray

[rachenbrazil]

Try pseudochromis steenei - aka orange face pseudo or jaguar pseudo... these are small but very agressive

but undulatus trigger is also very agressive...


both heavy weight on agressive championship...

[Wolverine]

I'd go with the undulated trigger. IME, they're more aggressive than the other triggers mentioned above (queen, clown, blueline). Those other triggers are more destructive because they get so much bigger, but the undulated has the more aggressive attitude.

Pseudochromis steenei that rachenbrazil mentioned can also be absurdly aggressive; the advantage here is that they're not as commun as undulated triggers.

Good point. I think though that the smaller morays are not known to be extremely aggressive. For the very aggressive eels, like a tess, you need a much bigger tank then a 55.

55 Gal is way to small for a Snowflake long term, my Snowflake is at least 32-33 inch long 3" heigh, and he roams a fair bit
