72 Gallon Lionfish Tank Needs Another Fish For Character
I would not mix any kind of puffer with a loin, they a curious fish, love to check everything out with a little nip. And if they like it another nip or two hundred. I think they get bored in the aquarium. They can also release toxin in the water if stressed or killed. I have several clients with big eyed squirrel fish in reef settings. Both clients have one only,and was there before I started maintaining their aquariums. I don’t like them in reef settings because they will eat small fish and shrimp. Fish only setting is better for this fish. One client reports his is 11 years old (I been doing his service since 2003), the other says his is 7. In a reef environment they stay down low and in back of the reef structure until feeding time. They come out at feeding time as fast and furious eaters, swimming very fast feeding until they get their fill. Then returning to their spot in the rock structure. I would think one or two would be fine with your lion fish. Have you thought of other options, like dwarf groupers, file fish, dwarf stingray,wrasse’s ect? I hope this helps!
