Dwarf zebra lion fish

[siner94]

Hey guys
My 55 gallon is about to be fully cycled and I was thing of adding a Dwarf zebra lion fish I just wanted to get some feed back on whether or not it would be a good idea... and what would be compatible with this fish I was thinking

Zebra Lionfish
Clownfish(marron maybe)
Diamond goby
And maybe a wrasse? (Maybe not)

I would love to hear what you guys have to say about this.
Thanks guys!!!

Are you planning to get a baby or larger

 

[siner94]

I would prefer a smaller one so I can grow it out

 

[James M]

I would be concern for the maroon and wrasse .
I’ve had one in the past where it didn’t go after my chromis and clowns but every fish is different

I would’ve thought the maroons would be better off than the clowns since they’re a bit more aggressive

And I would also consider a diamond goby probably a medium sized one

The lion will most likely eat anything smaller then itself.

Like MSB said anything smaller will be eaten , so try to get a full grown Maroon
I believe the goby is saFe because it has it own hole to dart back into

So it depends on the temperament pretty much I can get lucky

Yeah I probably won’t go with lots of fish those two are a for sure and probably a dottyback

Any fish smaller than 3/4s length of the lion WILL be eaten. In captivity the advantage goes to the predator. So, goby, wrasse, and dottyback will eventually be on the menu.

Maroon clowns present their own logistical problem. They get large and quite territorial. In a 55g they will claim most of the tank and attack any 'intruders.' A lion isn't very capable of evading their strikes.

Thanks for the feed back I’m just looking for something unique!!! So I probably won’t go with a loin since I want a pair of midnight clowns

Midnight (Ocellaris, I think?) clowns will be eaten.

Yeah, those are some nice fish I think I’ll get one since they’re pricey
