Assuming they have enough room (they grow faster than any fish I've ever kept); they usually do very well together. I had two for several years before moving and have had two for about 3 years now.

Is a 150 big enough? How big do they max out in Captivity?
Thanks so much

A 150 should work well. They aren't the most active fish, so (IMO) need a little less room than other fish of similar size. They commonly grow to over a foot; and will reach that length faster than you'll believe.

While I have never kept lions I would say they should be fine . Lions are not so much "aggressive" as they are "predatory" .

Lions are not very territorial, and will share their space, I have 2 volitans in my 220, and they are always side by side.

how about two different types of lions, i have a v.lion and my wife really likes the fuzzys. my lfs says they would be ok but might have trouble feeding the fuzzy being the volt is so aggresive at feeding times.

Risky. A large sized volitans can and will eat a dwarf species.
