betta and some adf's?

maybe you could get a couple cichlids? i say this only because you already have community fish so why not go for some aggressive or semi aggressive fish. or perhaps you could even put some goldfish in that one, but i personally don't like those

A couple of marine frogfish such as Antennarius dorehensis. Only grow to 1.5 to 2" but can eat other fish the same size as them.

18 gallon would easily serve two for life, and you could probably end up with about 4 if you have enough live rock.

I say some sort of more aggressive tank... cichlids of some sort, maybe.

Oh oh oh!!!! A colony of shell dwelling cichlids!!!! They're pretty tiny compared to 'average' sized cichlids, so you could get more for your 18 gallons.

I say some sort of more aggressive tank... cichlids of some sort, maybe.

yep like the sound of aggressive fish what kinds would fit in there and how many
