Dwarf Lionfish in a 36G

[alishasreef]

Hi,

I’m trying to decide on what I want to restock my 36 Gallon which use to be a reef tank.

My current top picks are a Dwarf Lionfish or a pair of maroon clowns.

Can a Dwarf Lionfish be in a 36 gallon? I’m reading so many different tank sizes so I am unsure!

The answer is 50g.

Dwarf lion will be ok however do not plan on too many occupants to go in that tank. Fuzzy, dwarf zebra or fu Manchu stay smaller . I assume your tank is a bowfront, and if so offers 26-28" of swim length.
Assure the one you purchase has clear skin and is eating food, not live feeder fish

I think you will be alright! Will this be a reef tank, macroalgae or what? I would try the Lion if you have access to mollys/guppies and ghost shrimp, it’s been proven the live gut bacteria in these are critical for long term success, and it’s really cool watching them hunt! What’s the plan for filtration? They don’t swim very much, kinda perch under ledges like a bat, they are a bit messy though..

A Fu Manchu will be the best bet for this size tank. I wouldn’t personally go for a fuzzy dwarf or zebra as they seem to enjoy Atleast a bit of swimming.
