Ok, well when i get my frag tank for christmas (actually a five gallon shallow tank with leds, just something little for coral only). this is what i am wondering- I will still have my biocube. Its going to have some rock and no corals and probably maybe one fish, but i can take that out. But i dont want to get rid of the tank, so what is something cool that i could put in it for maybe like a species tank or like some of you have "cloning factories" or "baby maker tank"? I want to do some thing cool, but not really looking towards fish.. maybe.. idk. But whats something cool i can do in just its own tank? I was thinking about getting a harlequin in my 5 gallon so i could get a couple of chocolate chip stars in the biocube and propogate them and let them grow out.. idk.... Anyideas????? Thanks!

Lots of good ideas but not for a 5 gallon. I have a pair of harlequins but i dont feel that you could feed them enough without overdoing the bioload a 5 gallon can take.

Yeah, i dont know about the harlequin. I am just throwin out ideas. Would a frog fish or angler be good in a bio cube 14?
