Lionfish and Puffers

[patricia]

I'm getting a 55 gallon tank here soon and I was wondering, can I put a Porcupine Puffer in the same tank as a Lionfish?:notsure:

Puffers arent compatible with lions. Their beaks can shred a lions fins, i wouldnt risk it. Maybe a dwarf lion or toby puffer, but dont mix the two species.

Thanks ya'll, I appreciate your replies. I don't want to have different species of fish in there killing each other.

I would be more concerned with a smaller puffer/toby picking at a lion's fins than a anothron or pork puffer.

Never mix a fuzzy dwarf lion with any toby.....their ornate fins are just too irresistable!
