hey everyone. I might be getting a new tank (75 gallons maybe. ) soon. I was thinking of getting bigger fish since I only have a 13.5 gallon right now with 2 clowns and a damsel. I really want a dwarf lion but don’t know what fish are compatible. I would also want a lot of smaller to medium sized fish that are colorful. I know that if I want a lot of smaller fish then I probably can’t get the lion. What do you think is more worth it? A lion with some other fish or a lot of smaller and more colorful fish? It’s going to be a while (1 year or more) before I get the bigger tank and I want to start brainstorming now so would appreciate any advice thks.

PS If I cannot get the lion I am also thinking if seahorses what fish can go with them?

I had a dwarf and it left everything alone in had gobys, pajama cardinals, chromis and a few other I cant remember at the time. The dwarf I got was purchased as small so its mouth wasnt that big. I would buy grass shrimp from my LFS and jeep him well fed so that probably helped also. Seahorses need very little flow because they are delicate and cant swim like fish against the current that we usually add for a reef tank.
