tank question

[nrbelk]

is a tank that is 4 feet long but only 12 inches wide too small for a lion fish?

My friend would like to get into a salt water predator tank so I'm (hopefully with correct info) helping him find one.

The two fish he's seen and would really like are a lion fish, probably a volatin or antennae, and a snowflake eel.

Would a 48"x12"x23"h tank house them suitably?

Thanks

it would be like you living in a hallway. u can always go with a dwarf lionfish.

how about the eel? Would it be alright?
