I recently ordered a Dwarf Fuzzy and am currently waiting for it in the mail. My current tank is a 55 gallon stocked with: 1Maroon Clown, 1Purple Dottyback, 1Sixline Wrasse, and 1Eibli Dwarf Angel. I also have a small cleanup crew consisting of five assorted hermits and a small population of nassarious vibes snails. The tank has plenty of open swimming space as well as two live rock territories. Is the dwarf lion a good addition to this tank, or did I just make a risky purchase?

The dottyback and the sixline may become a meal, depending of their size and the size of the lion. Those 2 would normally not be good choices to keep with a dwarf lion, at some point they could likely become a meal. The maroon clown and elibi are good tank mates.

Ok thanks for the reply. I have a quarantine tank as well as breeder boxes that can be used if I determine that the lion fish is at a size that would harm my other fish. As for feeding it I’m going to start with ghost shrimp and frozen shrimp a few times a week on and off live foods.
