Yesterday I got a baaaaaby Pavo Damsel from Biota and when I saw he was basically still a fry, I thought I'd keep him on the refugium to grow out. Sadly he didn't make it through the night in the acclimation box. But as I was researching keeping a fish in the refugium, it seems quite a few places say you can keep a Dwarf Lion there. How do people feel about this? I know they're not big swimmers, but is that really enough space? And won't they be bored out of their gourd being all alone in there??

But because I WANT a Dwarf Lion, the idea struck me as intriguing. What do people think?

Why put a display fish, hidden away in a refugium?
