lion fish all alone

hello all fish time in this forum, i have a 30 gal with a 7" lunaire Voltain lion in it (i think it is lunaire which is the one with all the gren and blue highlights??) anyway i have kept this fish in the tank for close to a year now, he is doing great, but i was wondering should i get him a friend? I think it would be kinda boring to be all by myself. I have another 55 gallon agressive set up with some puffers ( small) and a queen (large) and a stone fish, would he like it in there? the smallest fish in the tank is a 2" burr fish, and i have had him for 2 years so he is one of my most loved fish, and i do not want to put him into any danger.
thanks

no you shouldn't add any more fish...volitans should be in a 120gal+ tank if i were you i would either upgrade to a larger tank or try take the volitan back to the store for a credit...
what is in your 135 that would work for a volitan depending on it's current inhabitants??
...futhermore any fish he can fit into his mouth he will eat so 2" fish will become feeders quickly...when you say "queen" i'm assuming your referring to a queen angel which cannot be in a aggressive tank unless it is a huge tank and you can keep the water quality perfect...also a 55 is way to small for a queen anel (which can grow to 15"+)...
i really don't know much about stonefish so i will leave that to someone else to answer...
this is why it is so important to research before buying!!!
sorry to deliver the bad new but it's the truth...
