fuzzy dwarf

[Landshark18]

i really want a fuzzy dwarf lion but i'm not sure my damsels will get along with him. I currently have a blue devil damsel and a four stripe in a 35 gal hex. He would have plenty of hiding spots but i dont know how agressive the damsels would be towards him. Does anyone know if these two types of fish can be together?

I wouldn't worry about the fuzzy with the damsels, every lion I have had just goes about his business without caring whats going around him. Plus I think you damsels will recognize him as a predator and stay clear of him.

i had a dwarf fuzzy with some other fish (including a damsel) with no problems, my fish didn't even care, i think they thought he was a rock. Dwarfs usually just sit there and don't really swim around.

I would def. keep an eye on the damsels if they were the first in the tank. My friend has 3 damsels that are absolutley nasty. He's had triggers and puffers in the tank that the damsels nearly killed due to stress. You could always go frogfish and have them eat the damsels I have a fuzzy dwarf now thats much smaller than its tank mates (he's 2 inches max) and he hasn't bothered anything. Zebra lions are also very cool

yeah mate i agree bubbaOPPD he ain't fussed got some in witht some damsels, they are inquistive but don't bother him at all, but the fish shop did say be careful with damsels as they can be nasty, but mine are fine

35 hex is too smal for a fuzzy in long term, sure they are not the most active fishbut they still hit 7 inches!

a hex may limit his roaming room too, providing a lot of space only vertically.
