Volitain lion tank mates

[teds tank]

ok so my list is
1 volitain lion
1 russles lion
1 foxface
and maby a sfe
i feel i'm pushing the bioload a little to much and the eel would eat my cuc
would the foxface get stressed having so many predators in the tank?

 

[small triggers]

lions are pretty easy going, and are not normal predetors of fox's unless he could fit in their mouths, so i wouldnt worry about it. Personally, i would skip the SFE if you are not in love with him,,,very messy when they grow up..

i love eels but i like lions more. when i was 5 my mom got a fresh water tank she had a eel init at least thats what she told me itwas 3" big and orange colour
what do you mean by messy, messy eater or large bioload or kicks up sand knocks over rocks
also i need a 6" or 12" sand bed for the eel i can't remebre

 

[small triggers]

the sand bed isnt that important for the eel, 3 or 4 inches should be fine, i dont know of anyone that has a deep sand bed for eels, having tunnels and caves is the most important feature.
What i mean by messy is, yes, they add a very heavy bio-load when they get larger, and having poor eyesight could cause problems when working in the tank, you already have to watch out for the lions and possibly a foxface so? its personal preferance.
