Won't be able to keep any other predators for the most part if you do get stonefish.

Not true. I've kept a plumieri, Inimicus, dwarf lions, and rhino all together. I even tried a Mozambique, but he eventually proved to small.

It all comes down to mouth to body size ratio.

That looks like a diabolis. A scorpion fish it a true stone fish.

That's true for the most part, as long as most of the fish aren't in the same area.

For example, there's no way you'll keep a ray or a benthic shark with a stone fish. They simply aren't compatible. Additionally, an eel would also do badly with a stone fish. Though groupers might work, they could and would very well die to the stonefish at some point. Keeping venomous fish with predators is just asking for trouble.
