Hi all,
Looking for your expertise in my new 65 gallon Lionfish build. The tank will be the general 65 gallon tank 36*18*24 and is set up to be a "peninsula" style tank where I'll be able to view it from 3 sides. As such I've tried to make my rock work have space on each side so there will be room for the fish to swim as well as have about 8 inches on the top where there is no rock. (I'll post pictures when I get home). I'm pretty set on getting a dwarf lionfish and I already have a snowflake eel that will be one of the tank mates. Any suggestions for other tank mates? I know my girlfriend was a fan of the wrasse's but I'm not sure if they will work due to their slender body shape. I'd be more inclined to have something with some color and a tendency to add movement to the tank. How have you all fared with having your Lionfish out swimming in the open?
