mixing lion fish/eels with smaller fish

by **janxy** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 7:33 pm

i have a 70 gallon reef tank with mostly smallish wrasse, clowns, blennies and gobies. i love my tank but am realy obsessed with lion fish and eels.
How risky would it be to add a small lion fish/dwarf lion or small snowflake eel to my tank. Would hate for any fish to be eaten.

does antone have any advise?

thanks

Depends on how small your other fish are. Dwarf lions can be kept wiith smaller species, (mature blue-green chromis) But depending on what species of gobies and blennies you have your likely to have atleast one that the lion will go after. The SFE will eventually eat all your fish. Looks like it's time for asecond tank! (:

any fishes smaller than the lionfish's mouth will eventually be food.
