This specimen got sold. The guy got $275 for it. I wish I had a tank ready to go from it already, I really like them, oh well. I have tons more research to do.
As of this moment, it looks like I'll be doing a 40 or 55 with a Fu or some dwarf and possibly my 3 Lyretail anthias as well as a pair of gold barred maroons in an RTBA. I'm completely copying this guys tank that had this lion with exception of the anthias, he had chromis I believe.

cranberry, got any recent pics of your "little guy"?
the Fu?
I have my camera out and I'll get some tonight. I still don't have easy access to a PC....
I have to steal the light off another tank to take some... LOL. We're still not all settled away after the move and are missing some ballasts.

You can put a male and a female or two female fuzzies in a 55g. I wouldn't go with two males of similar species like a fuzzy and a zebra, because they still may fight. I'm going to try it, but I'll have a "Plan B" tank on standby. We can't really put two zebras together because you can't sex them and you could wind up having 2 males. They may not even fight at first, but as they mature sexually, it will be an issue in that sie tank. Same goes for mixing the male fuzzy and zebra. It may be smooth at first, until someones testosterone kicks in.

Thanks for the Reply Renee, I really think that I may do that with the 55 gal after I get the 75 gal reef up and running.. What else could go in the tank with them? You can Pm it to me because I dont want to hijack Tommielynn's Thread.. Thanks again

Post here, please, hijack away. I'm doing a similar tank. I think there are three of us really researching this right now in the same size tank

Yes it is getting confusing - we should make this one the official thread - what do you think.
My LFS had Antenneta Lionfish - I thought they looked cool - but are they aIiii

That was weird - let me finish "I thought they looked cool but are they a dwarf variety (can they go in a 40B)

Thank you! I just didnt want to be one of those people that hijacked a thread from someone without their consent.. Yes I think there is, I am finding a new love for the Lion fish.. I had been looking at them for a while but had not said anything because I didnt want to take my focus away from my 75 gal until it was up and running (it should be by this weekend) so I can shift a little of my focus to looking into doing a Lion tank..

That would be great - if it is not too much trouble, or we can just go from here - either way i think we will learn something good about these guys
