Lionfish + Tankmates

[injektion]

i was wondering what kind of fish a dwarf or fu manchu lionfish can be kept with in...say a 55 gallon? i'm wondering specifically of puffers but some can be quite small and would make for a poisonous meal for the lionfish lol. if not puffers what else would be ok?

just for everyone's info i don't have a lionfish i just wanted to know.

Puffers and lionfish are considered 'compatible' tankmates. SH

so would any puffer be ok? I know some puffers are quite small and I know they might get eaten such as the valentini puffer (Canthigaster valentini). although i suppose dwarf lionfish don't have mouths big enough to eat them (maybe) lol.

Anything bigger than the lion's mouth is safe is the general rule.
