lion and queen angel together?

[sebae0]

do you guys think that a lion fish and a queen angel would be okay in a 135 gallon tank? the lion is about 13" and the queen is about 6", what i'm concerned with is if the queen would nip at his fins. any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

I cannot comment directly, but I had a lion with a passer (king) angel. They were fine for a while, but eventually, the angel nipped the lion to death.

I have never had any problems... but I think those fish are too large to be in a 135. At least for any length of time.

The Queens get too large and aggressive for a tank that small......I'd suggest at least a 300 before trying that combination.
This is a good example of aggressive vs predatory, very often two entirely different things.

The queen may. They are a little more boisterous. The tank is to small for a queen anyways at adulthood.... Open a spiral notebook and thats how big they get eventually. The lion on the other hand is much more suited to a tank that size...
