If you get the volitan, not only will you lose the chromis, you will lose the shrimp, and probably the clown, goby, and sixline as well.
A better choice in lionfish if you really wanted one would be a fuzzy dwarf. A fuzzy may still eat your shrimp, but at least it won't eat your fish. Volitans grow to be 15" and can fit a whole lot in their mouths. Fuzzy dwarves only grow to 5" and is the least aggressive lion, IMO. I personally think they are a lot nicer to look at, as well.
Let us know when you get your hippo!
