i really like volitan lions, but i've read that they need at the absolute least a 75 gallon, preferably 80 or 90 gallon. but like i said earlier, i don't really have any place for a tank larger than, say, a 55. and even so, that would be pushing it.....
also..... i thought that lionfish and puffers didn't need live rock/live sand? it wouldn't be a BAD addition and it would help speed up cycling, but it wasn't a necessary addition? (correct me if i'm wrong, that's just the impression i was under.)
^oh, i know that aggressive fish are very messy. my puffers have cleanup crews bigger than they are and they get a LOT of attention from me. i'm not afraid of a little hard work! i actually find fish tank maintenance very relaxing.... if i had a car, i would look into getting a job in that.
First off I pesonally would only get one lionfish
And in your case all the lions in the Pterois family will get two big for a 39
all lion fish need rock of some type or hiding
a puffer needs a hiding place too
Bangii are lovely fish but will be ate or picked on to death
sixline will become dinner for the lion
A long spinned urchin will work for clean up
and if you could buy some big turbo snails they could survive the puffer
Also Maby you should consider a large cinnamin clown fish very nice and in your tank wont out grow and would be plenty agressive
