Right now, I have a 120 gallon reef community tank with a yellow tang, a coral beauty, 2 clownfish, a peppermint shrimp, 2 cleaner shrimp, and then hermit crabs and snails and starfish. I also have an assortment of corals in the tank. Now, I’m really considering getting rid of all or most of these fish and instead getting a lionfish. A lionfish is what I’ve always wanted, but this was my first saltwater tank, so I found a good deal on a complete setup that came with everything I already have.
Would there be anything wrong with getting rid of all of those fish and instead just leaving the corals and getting a lionfish? Also, would I be able to keep anything at all, or would the lionfish try to eat everything since I know they’ll eat anything that can fit in their mouth? And since I’m guessing I’ll have to get rid of my cleanup crew, what should I do to offset this?
