i would say 125 minimum tank. need room to swim. also depends on the size of the fish and if you plan to upgrade to a bigger tank in the near future.

75 isn't wide enough... only 18 inches wide, and lions get 15 inches... that would make them hardly able to turn around, and you have to add the space of liverock meaning they couldn't turn... i'd say about a 1110+

lol, good catch, i think they could fare pretty well in a little less than one thousand one hundred and ten gallons...
and surfinusa... you don't think they'd be fine in 150,125, or 110?... they don't move much, they just need move to flaot back and forth, and turn around easily.

i guess you could keep one in a 150 but they do move around fast sometimes

Well OK, that's not the advice i wanted to hear.
I guess that i need to look into some dwarf species then. Thanks everybody and if anyone has a sugestion about what kind of dwarf to get let me have it!
