lionfish tank

[dhbrk]

if i have a 30 gallon tank long, how many dwarf lions can i have in there. how many puffers. i want only one type of fish in the tank and i was trying to find out which would do better in there. Also, what do i need in the tank for them to thrive? lr, ls, etc? Any help would be appreciated.

does anybody know how many lionfish i can have in a 30 gallon and how many puffers in a 30 gallon? and how many puffers in a 10 gallon and same for lionfish.

30 G or 10G is
way too small for 1 Lion or 1 Puffer.
Please do not try it
You will kill the animals

even a dwarf lion?

Perhaps a Dwarf, but that would be it. Nothing else. The name Dwarf is misleading since they still can get to be pretty good size.
Do not quote me on this, but I believe 6 to 8 inches is not unheard of for a dwarf.
If I was going to keep a Lion by itself I would try something cool, but finicky like a Radiata.
They are tough to keep in community tanks, but may work in a tank alone.

They only reach about 4" in captivity. Have you considered a frog fish? That's what I'd get if I wanted just one really cool fish in a 30 gallon. the dwarf lion might be my second choice. Either is very hardy, and could probably do well in the 30 gal. Be careful maintaining the water quality.
