Well, any nitrites is never a good thing. I think PFitz was talking about nitrates.

You think you can predict water quality without having any idea what type of filtration is being used? That would be a good trick!

We all think it's really funny. Congrats
Actually I was making a point. To suggest that a dwarf lion wouldn't work because of water quality has no merit without considering the filtration. But thanks for the support.

More of ridicule. But keep up the good work. Again,
You're hijacking this person's thread to ridicule me? Got some extra time on your hands, huh. I'm going to delete this thread in a couple minutes out of respect to the original poster and his/her question but you should be a little more curteous to the person who really wants help.

Thank you to all whom posted. I currently have a Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish and just love it so much. I was just curious as to what other types of fish out there considered aggressive that would be good in a 25 gal. No I am not adding more fish to what I already have just wanting to learn about other types of fish out there.

Why is that every thread that Whitey posts in turns into the useless banter, in a hi-jacked thread, where he constantly attacks people? Sorry, Debbie...he's like our resident pain in the keister. We've just all learned to put up with him.
Debbie,
It's really difficult for a 25gal. to be turned into an aggressive tank. Aggressive fish are messier eaters, therefore requiring heavier filtration. And, there are not too many choices, since most will outgrow the 25gal. tank limit.
Dwarf Lions, no matter the species, would best be kept in a 40gal. or more...most will reach 6", in length, at least.
Anglers/Frogfish are a good candidate, for a 25gal. but require heavy duty filtration and are extremely sensitive to nitrates and copper.
Smaller species of Scorpionfish would be ok, but the problem is that 99% of fish stores either dont carry them or mislabel them, when they have them in stock. You could end up with a Scorp that'll max out at 3" or one that'll max out at 15"...it's a tough decision.
There are also Mantis Shrimp. Most people hate them and want them dead, especially in their reef tanks, but I'm a huge fan and have kept many over the years.
