Lionfish Aggresion

[jon321]

I have a 1.5" radiata lionfish in a 10g quarentine tank. It is ready to be moved to my main tank, but I ordered a 1.5" zebra dwarf lion and its comming 1 day early. Will there be any problems between the 2 lions in a 10g tank for about 24 hours? I wont have time to move the radiata until the next day.
thanks,
Jon

The fuzzies have a tendency to be more aggressive towards other dwarfs more so than the radiata & zebra. When ever I have experienced aggression with lions, it has been within the first few minutes of adding another lion, Watch them when you add the other but I think you will be fine.

Sounds good, thanks. I thought Id be ok, but thought Id check. Ive only ever added all lions at the same time, not one establish and one new one. Ill make sure to have a divider on hand, and feed the established lionfish prior.
thanks,
Jon
