Currently i have a 65g(4footlong) predator-style reef tank. i have a green wolf eel, snowflake eel and a sargassum angler.

I was wondering if I would be able to add a dwarf lion fish, to the tank, My only concern is I have heard stories of anglers trying to eat lion fish, although my angler is only 3- 4 inches.
And I would try to go with a dwarf lion fish at that same size.
If anyone could chime in, that would be awesome.

Nvm I answered my question and don’t want a lion.
Was going to say not in that size tank that bio load is huge already. But if you upgrade, dwarf lions are amazing.

Also hows your wolf eel?? Whats it like?

It’s super cool it’s a green wolf eel, carpet eel blenny is a better name tho it’s not even an eel. And it eats a lot a whole silver side every 3 days, and the second I put anything food related in the tank it darts at it and eats it, so he has to eat first and I have to give him a big piece, like half the silver side so I have time to feed the others. Coolest thing I’ve had though, and unlike a eel it doesn’t hide all day its sits all around my

Does it swim around? I have a 300 gallon predator tank and was considering one of these dudes, a snake eel or another moray to add. (I have 4 morays). How is it with your snowflake?

Do you have a picture of it??
So this vid was from a while ago my tank had a bad cyno outbreak, so I was doing a chemiclean dose, hence the bubbles all in the water. Tanks doing loads better after that dose. Also the tang, I had to bring back to lfs because he was picking on the wolf eel. But the snow flake and the wolf eel will legit just lay heads next to each other a lot like there friends it’s weird.
