Looking at tankmates for a possible dwarf zebra lionfish tank. I have ideas and would appreciate some input. I'm looking at a 100-125 gal tank as far as size is concerned.
Possible tankmates;
- Snowflake eel
- Foxface rabbitfish
- maroon clownfish or maybe other options in clownfish that will be large enough to avoid being eaten
- flame angel
Ideally what I'm looking for is 5-10 fish (including in that number the lion). Something colorful, interesting to watch & capable of co-existing. I have heard that basically as long as it doesn't fit in the lionfish's mouth and isn't going to try and eat their fins that it should be fine. So if I could get some input? Is it worth doing a eel or would a convict goby be just as good? Instead of a flame angel could I do a type of angel that's blue in color? I saw one in my local fish store the other day but forgot the name and didn't ask their opinions on keeping it with lions.
