AggieMarine Mega Fish Posts: 1364 Kudos: 229 Votes: 12 Registered: 16-Apr-2002	Small and aggressive or small and predatory? I have a small predator (isn't terribly territorial though) that will eat absolutely anything it thinks will fit down it's throat (including my finger once, and I got a nasty infection from it). Echidna rhodochilus, a species of freshwater moray is perfect for a 20 gallon (as they don't exceed 13 inches and are rather slender for the genus and are capable of living in pure fresh water, although I keep mine in a brackish tank right now).

For a fish to feed on live fish, it has to be larger than the fish it is trying to eat, and a fish that is larger than standard feeders just won't fit in a 20 gallon. Perhaps a frog-mouthed catfish, but they aren't particularly aggressive, and they may outgrow the tank (not sure of max size). I think you'll just have to settle for aggressive. The most aggressive thing you could put in the tank would probably be figure 8 puffers or perhaps a firemouth cichlid. Joe Potato
