Volitan Lionfish. Good or bad mix?
 
Hi,

Just wondering if a 3 inch Volitan Lionfish could cohabitate in the following tank:

110 Gallon fish only

1 4" Niger Trigger
1 2.5" Picasso Trigger
1 3" Marron Clown
1 1.5" Maroon Clown
1 3" Flame Angel
1 1.5" Pygmy Angel
1 2.5" queen Coris wrasse
1 4" Yerllow Tang
1 2" Porcupine puffer
1 2" Valentini Puffer
3 2" chromis

I realize that the chromis may well be food for it at a later date. Also, my MAIN concern is the triggers and puffers nipping on the lions fins.

Assuming it is eating frozen foods, should i get it?

thanks for you help :)

No. Picasso's are reknowned for nipping lionfish fins.

puffers are also a bad choice for fin nipping

Angels are not a real friend to lions either.
not to mention that 110 is close to overstock even before most of your fish are full grown.

sounds like a beautiful mix of fish, but its gonna get crowded. Good luck.

Ok, i guess the lionfish will have to wait for another tank to get set-up :P

thx! :)
