mixing lion species?

[luv4scjjt]

Is it ok to put a volitan with a rediata? It's a 180 So far only fish is a racoon butterfly. (adult)

or a radiata with a russels?

 

[ashtree68]

It depends on the size difference mainly, radiata grow slowly while volitan and russels grow quicker, but as long as there is a decent difference there shouldn't be a problem.

I have a volitan, mombasa, and radiata together and they ignore each other.

 

[luv4scjjt]

so i do want a size difference between them? Or should they be about the same size? Sorry i hope i don't sound like a dumb dumb. lol

 

[ashtree68]

If you have a size diff, have the radiata be bigger than the other, since they grow slower.

What would be some other fish i could put in there that would be compatable with 2 lions

 

[sacremon]

Tangs, larger wrasses, groupers and rabbitfish are all compatible with lions. You just want to avoid anything that might pick on the lions (larger angels, triggers, puffers) or are small enough to be eaten by the lions (about half the types of fish kept in the hobby).

LOL. At current i only have a racoon butterfly. Are they known for pickin at the lions fins?
