[FishDude14]

What kind of Lionfish? I keep a dwarf with a clarki clown and engineer goby.

 

[FishDude14]

Valitein something like that

 

[shady3210]

Probably Volitan then:

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Volitan Lionfish, Colored

Lionfish aren't aggressive per say they will just eat anything they can fit in their mouth. Given Volitans get to be about a foot very quickly you need to stock with other fish that will be about 11-13". That are peaceful or semi aggressive otherwise they may pick on the lion.

What size tank is this going in?

 

[FishDude14]

Yeah ok I was thinking defense fish also like porcipine puffer, trigger maybe etc and a 125 gallon

The puffers and triggers aren't recommended for lion fish. They will nip the fins of the lion fish. Foxface, wrasse ,dwarf angels lion fish are peaceful fish

Ok thanks I will do that

Foxface maybe but a full grown volitan would make a lunch of most dwarf angels and wrasse.

I'd look at Tangs, medium size angels ect...

Yeah I might get this one fox face that is like 7-8 inches

This is by far the best guide I've found for my lionfish. I keep my dwarf fuzzy with anything that is larger than him
