hi i was wondering if i could have a dwarf lionfish in my 55 gallon aquarium. if thats ok what would be compatible with it. right now i have a snowflake eel and 3 damsels. i got the damsels for my eel to eat but he dosent try to eat them.
thanx for any info.

A Dwarf Lionfish (Dendrochirus Zebra, or Dendrochirus Brachypterus) IMO would be fine in a 55g. If you get it small, it is hard to get them to begin feeding, so feed it live feeder shrimp or feeder fish. He might even eat your damsels, depending on how big they are compared to the Lionfish.
