Lion fish in reef tank

[harlequin]

the latest list sounds good. You will have to watch the pod situation to see if it is strong enough a year from now. The immediate list I see no problems though except maybe if the hawk is outgrown and eaten by the lion later on.

If you do decide to get the mandarin, really watch the pod population......the smallest tank for 1 should really have right around 100lbs of lr in it to keep the pod pop. steady, but if you have a fuge with enough lr in it the little guy will be content...and if you dont, you could add one you just have to have a fair amount of lr in it , so the pods will reproduce......hth

thanks guys, i think i have the flamehawk problem figured out i will go with the blood red hawk which looks almost exactly the same but grows to 5in. and i will look at the pod pop. before purchasing the mandarin but i will try to look for one that eats something like bloodworms or somethig thanks again if you guys have any other suggestions please give me them:joy:
