lion tank?

[armison89]

just sitting here bored and thinking about a future tank idea. im thinking about doing a 475 gallon fowlr (96x36x32). the center piece would be a Volitan Lionfish.

what fish would you guys have with the lion if it was your tank?

In a tank that big you could have a pride of lions.

+1 on the large lion lair!

You could go with a P. volitans and a P. russelii, one or two of the larger scorps (Scorpaena brasiliensis is a good one), an Inimicus sp. stingfish, a squirrelfish/soldierfish, Xanthicthys sp. trigger (I like the crosshatch), a foxface/rabbitfish, marine betta...lots of possibilities.

in a tank that big i would definitely do a grouper

 

[armison89]

what kind of grouper?

could i do an eel?

large angels/buterflyfish?

Banana Wrasse (Thalassoma lutescens)?

Wouldn't a large lion eat a squirrelfish? Or does that get back to the size differential again and let them grow together.
