Radiata, Antennata, or Dwarf Zebra Lionfish?

Hello, I was wondering which lionfish would be best suited for me. I have a 55 gallon and was wanting to just put a lionfish and a long nose hawkfish in the tank. I really like the Radiatas, Antennatas, and Dwarf`Zebras and I was wondering if anyone had any personal experiences with these. Thanks!

I am looking at getting a lionfish in the near future as well and from the research I've done a fuzzy dwarf or dwarf zebra will be all you'd want to put in there. I like the radiatas as well but I think they need at least 75-100 gallon if you want to keep it for it's full life span. I'm not sure about the antennata though, maybe someone else could help you with that.

well for a 55 i would reccomend a fuzzy dwarf, theyre one of the more hardy of lionfish and r the easiest of the smaller lions to get eating. antennatas tho pretty ive found dont typically take to frozen very fast

My LFS ordered a fuzzy and a zebra and I'm going in Tuesday to pick the one I want is there anything I should look for to make sure it's good (besides that its eating)?
