lionfish questions/compatibility

[adee]

What type of lion fish can live their entire lives (Without upgrading tank) in a 125 gallon long. What fish are safe with them? (or which are not if that shortens the list)

Id say a V Lion is best the bet. easy to take care of. Gorgeous fish. They shouldnt be kept with anything smaller than what you think it can fit in its very large mouth. Also Puffers and triggers are a major no no.
Tangs are okay. They can get up to 9 inches. You want dinner plate shaped fish. Not slender like something that can be sucked up like spaghetti.

standard 125 I think you will be much happier. Little longer. Allows more swimming room. Congrats!
