Antennata Lionfish

[fishy411]

Ive heard that antennata lions only grow up to 7" if this is true would two of them fit in a 46 gallon tank? If not would two dwarf zebras. Please help

46 gallons?PHEW.....you're getting up there

yeah i figured that i can make a stand with help from my dad so thats an extra 100 $

your dad must be handy with wood because that stand will need to hold 500+lbs.dont forget about monthy maitnence and keep up fee's.

Depending on how much rockwork you have you should be ok. Feeding time will be an issue making sure both of them get food since they will both go after it. make sure you have a good wet/dry filtration system, I have noticed they work great for fish only tanks.

im not worried because my dad made just about every shelf in our house including the one that holds the TV , record player, stereo, and speakers

yes P. antennata get to be about 7-8" long A good pretty mid bodied size fish. A 46gal tank is prolly too small for 2 of them, but as juveniles they should work okay. Just ensure they are well established and eating dead prepared SW based foods (skip the krill) before you add any fast swimming tankmates
