Hi, I'm looking into getting a lion fish and possibly a snowflake eel or some other species of eel that would do well in my tank.
I just have some questions about the whole situation because i wanna know what i am gonna be getting myself into..
I have a 55g tank that has been running for little over a month and hasn't cycled yet. I have about 20lbs of live rock and 20lb of reg. rock.. 5 damsels, 2 peppermint shirmp, and a maroon clown. All of which can be moved to my 30g once i get the lion or eel.
My question is... do you think my tank is too young to get a eel or lion for that matter..
Are there any special tests that i need to get or water parameters that I need to watch??
Do they like any special lighting cause right now i have 260watt PC w/ moonlights..
I know glass tops are a necessity, which i will have to work on cause the tops i got right now leave about a 4 inch opening for my wet/dry filter...
Come to think of it I am also interested in getting a blue spotted sting ray??? Is that a possibility or am i getting ahead of myself...
Will all these guys be able to live peacefully with each other??? (lion, eel, stingray)
What are some things I can do in my tank to make these guys feel safer and home..
eg. I know the stingray is gonna want some spots to bury himself...(is that a necessity or no?) i also know the eel is gonna want crevices to hide and what not...
My questions on this subject are all over the place but I think i got it all out.... Any opinions/thoughts would be majorly appreciated!!
