I was trying to pick out fish for my 65 gal and some of the fish I looked at said 70 min would a 65 be sufficient ?

I plan on putting a red dwarf fuzzy lion and a yellow wart skin frogfish and trying to do a little research in other fish I can stock with them. But some that I like say 70 gallon min hence my question

Whit the two fish in question, a red dwarf fuzzy lion and a yellow wart skin frog fish, I don't think you have a problem. Both of these fish are ambush predators and don't do a lot of movement around the tank. Other fish such as a tang, I would say no, since the tank is only 3 feel long, and a tang needs running room.

You always need to consider the individual fish species.

I know I'm fine with those 2 but was looking at other fish I can stock in with them. Like a walking batfish, long nose hawk fish and maybe couple if squirrel fish. On a couple of the ones I wanted said 70 gallon min, so I was just trying to ask how much of a difference it made me having a 65gallon. And from what I gathered from tour response is it would just depend on the fish
