What's the smallest tank you can have a dwarf lion fish in????

Can any on tell me what the smallest tank size would be to have one of these fish in??
I have an established 30 gallon with lots of LR and am wondering if that is to small for a dwarf zebra lion fish???

Not my specialty, but what are your other tank inhabitants, especially with all your LR it will cut down on swimmng area and im afraid it might sting the other fish. p.s maybe you would like to post this in the AGRESSIVE FISH section as well.

I have my dwarf zebra in my 30 gal.

A 30g is what is recommended, this lion reaches 6 - 8 inches, but it will not reach this size over night, lions are messy fish and create quite a bio-load.
With that said, you can put a zebra lion into a 30g and probably for a few years, just don't over crowd the tank with other fish, especially other fish that are messy, your tank may fall into trouble if you do this.
