well...um, if you start with fish number one, then 2 would be breakfast, 3 would be brunch, 4 lunch, and 5 would be dinner. crabs and shrimp would be bedtime snacks.

The "definately want a lion" seriously limits your options. Anything small enough to fit in its mouth will be fair game for dinner, and this will include the scooter blenny, the clowns (possible exception for a larger gold-stripe maroon), and any inverts such as shrimps and crabs you choose to add. Think ahead with the lionfish, even if boughtt small it will get large quickly.

Lion info


The stingray is out of the question here, the only way to have one of those is to have lots of wide open sand on the bottom, they have no business being sold for home aquaria in my opinion.

keep learning, and take your time here, make sure to THOROUGHLY research any and all potential residents. You will have to accept that although there are is lot of stuff that you REALLY want, it is your moral and ethical responsibility to make sure that you can properly care for it, and give it the opportunity for a normal.. lengthy, healthy lifespan.
