I currently have a 58 gallon reef tank with sump setup. I plan on moving all of the corals and current fish into a smaller tank (only have a couple corals, a cardinal and a 6 line wrasse) that we already have. I would like to then turn the 58 gallon setup to a FOWLR. I already have the wife's permission for this, since she was the one who suggested this when I was doing some maintenance on Sunday.
My daughters have asked for a lionfish and an eel. I'm thinking a dwarf lionfish would be ok. What about an eel? I think the LFS here in Anchorage has some snowflakes (doesn't have to be a snowflake though), but I do not have any experience with eels (or lionfish for that matter). If we go with a dwarf lionfish, what other tank mates would work in this size tank? My wife and I would like fish that not only look good, but would also be ok in this size tank with a lionfish.
I am just starting my research into lionfish, so any and all comments are welcome. If a lionfish is not a good idea, then so be it. My primary mission is to house good looking fish in an appropriate sized tank with compatible tank mates. If you were in my shoes, what type of fish would you put in this tank?
Forgot to mention that I am working my way through the "Show Us your Lionfish" thread.
