By the book: No

I think it has been done though, like anything, but i'd worry about the bio-load of two heavy carnivores like that in a little tank. (Plus if one eats the other I think it's game-over for both)

What about a dwarf puffer?

A blue spotted puffer (aka blue spot toby)


a Pink-spotted puffer (aka Bennet's toby)


a valentini puffer


check this site out for more info:

I think the puffers have to be kept singly and will eat your CUC but they are very interesting to watch.


Or, totally on a different note: what about a mantis shrimp? Maybe a little too much to watch to eat but it's agressive and smal!!

My dwarf lion hasn't touched my CUC or tankmates and is great fun to watch. Becoming more and more socail as time goes on

Thanks for the input. I've got a couple weeks to think about it as I'm transferring my couple of smaller fish into our 180g. It's gonna be fun getting out the goby/pistol shrimp pair. They are so anti-social.......So, any more thoughts, keep 'em coming! Really like the looks of the lions or the frogs.
