thinking about a lion!

[newsalt16]

I have a 75 gallon FOWLR and am thinking about setting up like a 40 gallon. I would love to get a lion fish but dont know anything about them or what i could put in with them as tank mates. Any info anybody whants to give me would be great! thanks!

In a 40 gallon, I would only do a fuzzy dwarf lionfish. They can be put with anything that will not fit in their mouth.

A fuzzy Dwarf or Zebra would go in a 40g, the problem is tank-mates to go with them in that 40g. You need to maintain good water quality and sometimes that can be tough to do with fish that can produce quite a bit of waste and need larger tank-mates.
To help guide you with both of these lions and to see if this is the right fish for you, read both of these articles.
