Fu Manchu lion fish

[melonballer]

I was wondering if anyone has experience with these guys in a reef tank, I have a 34 gallon with a manderian goby and a tail spot blenny. I saw one of these guys on the web and was amazed, so are they that aggressive, I was thinking if I got a real small baby it would be less likely to eat my fish. Any advice, thanks.

P.s. This is my first post.

Grow quick and will eat anything the same size as it and smaller.

your fish will be a nice meal.

Lionfish will eat anything they can fit in their mouth.

i wouldn't do it. they will eat your fish.

It will probably eat your fish, and they are one of the hardest lionfish to get eating non-live food

Good to see you here.. Well this lionfish gets a max of 4 whole inches.. Is semi-aggressive lol. Whatever that means. I think it's worth a try. Go for it. Let us know how it works. Wonderful looking fish to get

They are super cool, but difficult to take prepared foods, and can eat any fish the size of their own body or smaller, but are a cooler fish than what you have, so trade out the mandarin and have a fu manchu, a fuzzy dwarf, and either a waspfish or a leaffish.

The mandy would be safe from a Fu as well. Their mouth doesn't open wide like the other lions. I don't know anything about a tail spot blenny, so I won't even speculate. I wonder what the OP ended up rolling with, as it was some time ago.
