Lion fish for a 55 gallon

I have a 55 gallon tank that I want to set up as a species only tank with 2 Dwarf Zebra Lions. I am not overly familiar with the different species of Lion fish and I am curious what my options are. Like could I possibly keep 3 Dwarf lions? Or maybe 2 of a larger species. Or even one larger one, what be the largest species of Lion fish that could be healthy kept in a 55 gallon tank? Does anyone have any other suggestions or ideas for a species only tank. Thanks.

largest species would be an antennata or radiata. volitans and russels get way too big for 55s, they need a 125 minimally

IMO the only Lions for a 55 gallon tank would be the dwarf species. Anything else would get to big to turn around comfortably.
