Parameters For Fuzzy Dwarf Lion

[coryjac0b]

well i was browsing around the other day, and was wondering if what if my tank is sufficient for a fuzzy dwarf lion, also wanted to know if they were reef safe.

i have a 55g, with about 70lbs of LR, tankmates include foxface, 2 clowns, 2 cleaner shrimp, and 1 fire shrimp, any imput helps, thanks

Sounds like a good tank for a dwarf species. Nice amount of LR too! The foxface should be fine, so should the clowns depending on size. The only thing im worried about are your shrimp. Dwarfs, and all lions love crutaceans, and wont hesitate to greedly consume a meal 3-4 times the size of the mouths. It depends on the size of your shrimp I guess.

the cleaners are about 5 inches head to tail, and the fire shrimp is about 6 inches.

Well, I think you should be fine if you get a small Dwarf. Those shrimp are a decent size.
