Clownfish And Dwarf Lionfish

[enjoiskater158]

would it be possibal to house a dwarf lionfish and an ocellaris clown together alond with some damsels and a gramma? i was planning on getting the lion when he was small around 1" - 2". my friend has a bunch of damsels and chromis with a dwarf lion and he hasnt eaten any of him fish but id thought i would ask before i added one

Its fine, as long as the Dwarf Lion is considerably smaller, or atleast his mouth is smaller then the smallest fish. Remeber, their mouths can also expand rather large. One tip, make sure its feeding on frozen foods before you get it. Lions are tough to get on anything but frozen if thats all they will eat. Ask at the LFs to show you tehm feeding him, if they dont want to, walk away!

i was actully hoping to order one from liveaquaria because they have the 14 day stay alive thing there.

 

[Mr Miagi]

Its good they have the Live on Delivery and Stay Alive refund clauses, but id much rather make sure my Lion is feeding from an LFS. You dont want to be trying to ween him/her onto frozen foods. You will be met with some stubborn creatures, if your not lucky. A lionfish will survive longer than 14 days without food, so even if you think you have a chance of a 14 day garuntee, your lion might die after the two weeks. And, as far as I know, and id be pretty danm sure, they wont refund your fish because he isnt eating the diet you want him too.
