thats a badass tank i have a 75 gallon with a banded cat shark a lionfish a snowflake eel and a few damsels and i feed mine ghost shrimp here and there
i havent posted on this in a while but I have a newer setup now its a 92 gallon corner tank ill see if i can get a vid up soon but yes feeding goldfish 24/7 is bad for them however IME feeding them once a week or every once in a while helps keep appetite up and fish more active
@sportsgeek28 they are really easy just read up on them first get some information feeding them. mine has ate since day 1 and has lived through a really bad tank crash with a winter storm with no power except a generator for 3 hours a day for 2 weeks. he even jumped out once dried up for 6 hours overnight and i was like wth picked him up and he twitched rinsed him off put him back in and hes still alive today. they can build up a mucus that encases them to survive out of water for short periods.
@rvalex09 thanks like i said new setup now but i definiley find predator tanks more exciting. I have a mixed tank now with the preds and some yellow and blue tangs.
@Franklovesdank nigers are actually the least threatining fish mine hardly ever attacks or fights anything... other than goldfish of course... however i have one now but the trigger in my tank in this video is a pinktail
It's not about the disease your fish will get from the Goldfish as you said you can QT them make sure there nothing wrong there mate, Goldfish just don't have what Saltwater Fish need, Feeding them on Goldfish will only screw up their Liver google it a bit, you have some really nice fish there mate it would be a shame to see them going to waste just for a few poxy Goldfish.
Verdifer, i understand your points, but theses are predatory fish, they should be able to hunt prey. I think its unfair to put fish in a tank where they swim back and forth, get no exercise and have no mental stimulation. They should not be feed live food as a staple, but occasionally, say once a week at most if you are having visitors over or are giving them holiday treats. Ive noticed visitors love to see goldfish being munched on and I Q.T. my goldfish for at least 2 to 3 weeks + breed gupies
@TheGoodstuff69 your points do make sense, but these fish can get diseases from eating goldfish. however, what you're saying could apply very well to saltwater feeder fish- which are expensive however.
Keep feeding the goldfish and watch your fish die with Liver Failure, your supposed to try and get your fish away from live fish and onto frozen food etc etc, I see no real point in getting fish like the puffer onto live food when he would have been happy with Mussels, Krill or Brine shrimp to start with, not to mention also the disease that may be added to your tank, frozen food is always the better option.
to scout820: the lights are 2 2's and u said a 55gal is 4'... so....yea
rkn4x4: u need lots of biofiltration to process the waste, i would use a refugium. plus the lighting, u could probably juste use a 10000k(anemones are only half photosynthetic and should be fine) and less aldae will grow
what kind of substrate? i got a 55 gal and screwed up. added tomato clown, large snow flake eel (18 inches), anemone, and humu humu trigger. tons of waste with high power lighting (required for my anemone and live rock) leads to algea and without being able to add tangs or crabs, algea is outrageous. got extra 55 i need to set up cheap and seprerate predator from reef to controll the stability
@scout820 no thats definitely a 55. i have a 75 gal and it looks huge compared to this. ummm btw this tank is way way way too small for all these fish. the puffers will outgrow it pretty quick, followed by the lionfish
are you sure thats a 55 gallon...i have a 60 gallon and your tank looks way bigger than a 55...it looks like 90-100 gallon

Your fish are wicked sick. Everytime I look at your puffer fish it's like a lighting bolt hit the tip of my penis. So epic.

the demensions of a 55 gal are 48x12.75x20.75 in (LWH) and a 125 gal is 60x18x24 in. and those fish look way too big to be in a 55 gal.

that is not a 55 gal it is at least a 125-180 gal.
