Need Help With Volitans Lionfish

[Keith88]

huh. i just found a compatibility chart online for a lot of saltwater fish. It says eels are ok, but don't eels eat lionfish in the wild?

yuppers.......
and dont feed goldfish pls, as it will cause liver disease....and you are fine with a lion in a 75g.....

I believe a lions real diet is mainly crustaceans..shrimp etc...? double check, but that is what I have read.

snowflake eel is a pebble tooth moray
i think only the sharp tooth ones eat lions

I have a volitan and a dwarf in my 75. Get the smallest lion that you can. Get tankmates that are too large to eat. Feed silversides soaked in vitamins and dont get triggers unless you get the less aggressive ones like bluejaw or pinktail.

I was thinkin on a "garden eel". They're pretty small. I don't wanna overcrowd my tank

dont snowflakes get like 3 feet long?

Here's a bit of reading for you.

I'd say a lion in a 75 would be fine.

Keep the tankmates passive, but large.
