fu manchu lion and toby

[sly fox]

hey,
thanks for reading..

im interested in keeping a fu manchu lion and a solanders toby together in a 25g cube... im happy to breed shrimp in case the lion wont shift to frozen food

i have a couple of questions...

- would a toby cause any problems for the lion, as they can be fin nippers? would there be a better toby?

- is the tank big enough for these 2 fish?

- how aggressive can these lions be, am i likely to get jabbed with my hand in the tank, if so any gloves that would prevent this?

thanks

Toby's are all very nippy. I wouldn't keep one in with a lion, it's just asking for trouble. The FuManchu will be fine in a 25, but you will likely need live food at first. Grass/Glass Shrimp work best for them.
