does anybody have experience with dwarf lionfish? im thinkin about getting one in my 30g reef along with a flame angel, foxface, and a clownfish. any tips or concerns?
LOL a friend of mine who started me in this addiction said -the only thing you need to remember is "if one fish will fit in anothers mouth, it will end up there"
also that cheap fish taste just like expensive fish.......read the compatability charts my friend, good luck
thanks guys, i know lions can get nasty so its gonna depend on the size of the ones at the LFS. my clowns are around 2 inches so they could be dinner but my other fish would be fine....if anyone else can help me out please comment
lions are just fine for a reef tank but as stated befor by other if it fits in its mouth it is going to eat it. and be carefull with alge control the olny thing thay wont bother with is larger hermits snails and urchins. a lion is like a oscer very friendly as long as it has a good place to hide, if you dont give it a cave it will over stress. i say go with a fuzzy dworf. thay are realy hardy dont git bigger then 3 or 4 inches and have some nice coleration to them. good luck it is nice to see people like to try them in reef tanks most are to wored. :)
remember they will grow to the size of an adult hand..i really want one to but if you do those ur have to have bigger fish, i might try the lionfish with a few larger damsels or cheap larger fish to see what he does in my 75gal
two lions to look at are the fu-mon-chu lion thay olny git about 4 inches and the fuzzy dworf are about the same and very timid. the fu will hide alot till it settels but are very nice looking the fuzzy is more active but still not very agresive for a starter git a fuzzy hardy and a nice adition to a cutesy reef. :)
