It would depend on the size of the tank as far as tankmates. I have mine in a 150G with a foxface, blue tang, and soon to be flame angel. No problems so far. Most places recommend at least 29G which would limit what could go with it as the lion might like the smaller fish for a snack. Good luck!!

I think you would be fine keeping a fuzzy dwarf in a 29 or 30 gallon aquarium.
A clown and blenny would be fine as long as both are a bit larger. I used to have my fuzzy dwarfs with a lawn mower blenny and they never even noticed him. The fuzzy might go after smaller clowns, but something larger like a sebae, tomato, maroon, or larger pair of percs would be fine.
Fuzzy dwarfs are not aggressive, but they will try to eat things that are much smaller than them.

Some sources say 30 gallon - I would say that is bare minimum and would not leave much, if any, room for tank mates of any kind. If you have a bigger tank, you could try clowns and blennies, but an adult fuzzy dwarf can easily take down the smaller clownfish and blenny species.
Lion crazz beat me by 3 minutes - I am getting slow.

Thanks, I've been thinking about just a dwarf angel or something like that. I really don't want a lot of fish in this tank. I was thinking some softies for corals and then the two fish. I'm going to keep the blenny and clowns in another thank.
