well in my 100 gallon could i have another lion fish preferably a different kind
 
stockings in my sig by the way
 
Lets look at your options, you have quite a few fish already, including 2 Fuzzy dwarf (D. Brachypterus).
If you want something different you could look at the Fu machu (D. Biocellatus) but I'm sure you know that they are difficult to keep and can be a PITA, but they are small enough to probably add.
Then you've got the Zebra (D.Zebra) but these can be aggressive to the same species and IMO are very similar to your Fuzzy.
So that brings you to the Pterois species which are larger, (but my favorites :drool: ) I think you can discount the Volitan, as most of your fish would make a tasty meal :sick:
Have a look at P. antennata, max. length around 7", if you can get hold of a juvie even better, they are good aquarium fish, they may eat smaller fish, so you have to weigh up the odds :unsure:
The only other one which you might get away with is P. Russelli it is the smaller volitan species but can still grow to around 11".
I would personally say go with a juvie P. antennata :good:
 
wow love the look of the P. antennata see i would love another but i would also love a frog fish but no ones ansered my topic askingif i could have one. but again love the P. antennata

the main reason for another lion is there character.

thanks for help
