Compatibility questions-Lions

[ashtree68]

My roommate, trying to celebrate the end of the semester decided to go out and buy me a lionfish. He's alright at IDing and knows how to sex fuzzies and I've been looking for a second female to go with my others (the third fuzzy I had got moved to another tank since he was getting bigger and wasn't getting a long with the other male) well he picked up a nice looking lion thinking it was a D. brachypterus but turns out its really a D. Zebra and was mislabeled and he misIDed it. Will it get along with the M/F D. brachypterus that I have or will they fight? I know they can be territorial with other Dendrochius but if it has it's own cave/hidey hole will they get a long or should I be looking for another home for it? Currently it's in a eggcrate cage, to see how everyone is reacting to it, thus far the other lions have ignored it completely.

It's a 90gallon softy/LPS tank.

Thanks.

IMHO, it should probably be OK, esp. if your zebra isn't a male (50-50 chance there). There have been at least a couple of peeps on RC that have kept zebra-fuzzy combos successfully.

Sweet, I'll probably keep it in the cage for a couple days and just keep an eye on them after I release it.
