piscivore experts welcome

by mro2you2

I want to start over on my 20 gallon planted tank with those predator fish or piscivore (fish eater) fish. I was thinking about the peppermint crocodicle fish and 1 more fish or as many as I can fit. I look on www.aquascape.com because there all about odd ball fish.
The peppermint fish grows 4 to 5 inch and its relitive crocodile fish is 8 inch. You can read about them on drFosterandSmith's Fish site under odd ball. Please only post if your 100% right about a fish.

I personally wouldn't just because piscavores are messy eaters usually and you'll have to be cleaning that tank constantly. also, the way the crocodile fish eat is to strike at the prey very fast and with you having a smaller tank, they will easily and most likely often run into the side of the tank damaging their beaks.

A 20 gallon tank is just way too small for fish that grow that big.
