I have a maroon clownfish and a volitan lionfish. If anyone wants to buy the volitan fish please let me know. Because i want to get fuzzy dwarf and zebra/dwarf lionfish. Would it be okay to have those in the tank with the marron clownfish? I have a 58 gallon thank.
Thanks!!

I have a Dwarf Lion and a Maroon Clown. I bought the Lion when he was very small. I have had him for about 6 months now, and he is 4 inches and pretty big around lol. He is doing excellent, and is a gentle gient. My Maroon Clown will even swim backwards into the Lion when it goes near his "fort", the Lion just swims back to his own fort. I have never seen the Lion go after any of my fish. Here are my fish listed in order they were introduced...
Maroon Clown
Decorated Goby
Atlantic Pygmy Angel
Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish
Valentini Puffer
I think if you find a nice young Dwarf Lion, things will probably be ok.

What size tank do you have? would it be okay to have a dwarf, zebra and lionfish? i really want the dwarf and zebra so i can have more room for other fish. If anyone wants my lionfish, i would be more than happy to give him to someone with a good home. He is very healthy and always eating.

I have a 40 gallon. I am not sure about housing a Fuzzy Dwarf and a Zebra together. Maybe you should concentrate on getting one first, and making sure everything goes ok with it? You might also be able to take your Volitan to your LFS and get some credit for him.

Has anyone have a dwarf and zebra lionfish in a tank together? my violtan is about 3in, not very big. I know that he will get alot bigger later on and now decided to get some smaller fish. Zebra and Dwarfs do get some what big too but i just love these fishs. and want atleast a zebra or dwarf. Any suggestions?

You might try asking over in the aggressive forum since lions are technically considered "aggressive". People over there may have some experience housing them together. Good luck, 'cause we love our fuzzy dwarf and I'm sure you will too.
