Introducing pterois sp. at different times?

[sacremon]

I have been waiting on a LFS to get in a P. volitans and a P. antennata at the same time, as well as a L. magnificus, so I can stock my tank at once. Months have gone by, and it turns out that there was some drama with the ownership of the store, and now they are in a different location/name/etc. and are in the process of setting things up again. I was going with them as they were the only LFS that I contacted that was willing to assure the health of the P. antennata.

In the meantime I've had a 125 gallon tank that has been sitting there. I would like to get some fish in there (I recently added some red legged hermits and some snails to control the algae that was growing) but I am not confident that the LFS will have the means to have those fish anytime soon. I can get a volitans almost anywhere in my area, and the magnificus shouldn't be much problem either. So I was wondering was this: Can I purchase those two then later add the antennata without issue?

Thanks in advance.

shouldn't be a problem lions are not very territorial. The only issue you might have is getting the new lion enough food, once established they will eat anything that hits the water making it hard for new fish to get their share. Also a 125 is a borderline size for a volitan in my opinion.
