Hey,
i have a 92 gallon reef, and i currently have:
* 2 percula clonfish
* 3 small damsels
* 1 coral beauty angel
* 1 flame angel
* 1 mandarine goby
* 1- 1.5'' blue tang.
I was thinking if i would be able to keep a small antenneta
dwarf lionfish in there?
If i am at the limit, i will not add the lion, but IF i could get away with 1 more fish, i was thinking of him.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Adam__

Well honestly the Lionfish will eventually eat the damsels and clowns so that will counter the bio load and you will be alright.

yay if you get the lion then eventually you could probably get a tang in there to once the smaller fish are lunch :thinking:
I think that your bioload is pretty light right now, the only thing would be the aggressiveness towards eachother if you added other aggresive fish. You never quite know with aggressive fish. One day they all like eachother and the next you have WW2 in your tank

My lions are not small and i still have the 3 starter damsels i used in the tank they don't get bothered at all ...i keep my lions fed and they don't bother anyone ....it's a 50/50 risk ..with me i didn't care because i couldn't get anyone to take my damsels after my cycle even the store wouldn't so i was stuck with them and they are fine with my 2 volitans

i really think that an antennata lionfish would do just fine in your system. they are rather hard to ween onto frozen food, however.
i would just keep him well fed.
