Snowflake Eel and Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish in a 90 gallon?

Clown-lover · 07-24-2007, 03:09 PM

Would a Snowflake Eel, Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish and flame anglefish get along in a 90 gallon fish only tank?

Again:

falme anglefish
Snowflake Eel (Small)
Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish

90 gallon fish only?

Also hello to everyone here!

dude that is prefectly fine... i have seen alot of lionfish housed with eels... my snowflake is a whimp and will only hunt on a small scooter blennie, but will never ketch it... anyways i would add the snowflake first and make sure you have a lot of LR so both fish will be comfortable and wont fight

I am worry about the snownflake eel eatting my Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish. What should I do? Just to be safe.

How large is the Eel? You really shouldn't have anything to worry about!

I don't have one yet, the tank isn't set up. A very small one juv

You shouldn't have any problems at all. I had a dwarf zebra lion with a snowflake eel, about 12" long, in my 29gallon when it was FOWLR a couple years back, and I never had any problems. The eel kept to himself, until he smelled food, but i used to target feed him from a feeding stick. As long as the lion is at least 3-ish inches long you'll be fine!

Snowflake's are "pebble-toothed" eels meaning you have nothing to worry about when it comes to them eating your fish. I have seen many tanks where they have been successfully kept with smaller fish such as clownfish. You could also look into getting a zebra moray eel, as they are very docile also, and I love their coloration.

Would the Dwarf lionfish be ok with an clown fish?

Cassette87 · 07-27-2007, 01:04 AM

depends on how small the clowns are... the lion's mouth is deceiving! much bigger than you think, and whatever it can fit in there it will!

SoccerBum474 · 07-27-2007, 01:09 AM

i think a clown would be fine with a dwarf lionfish.. unless you get a baby clown fish that is really small but one that is around 2 inches woud be safe from both eel and lionfish...

InLimbo87 · 07-27-2007, 05:53 AM

I would say yes, but with only certain species. I would stay away from percs/oscellaris' because imo would be questionably small to a full grown dwarf lion. Decent sized maroon's or similar-sized species would be perfectly fine.

How about a True Percula Clownfish? Or a Valentini Puffer fish?

Cassette87 · 07-27-2007, 01:38 PM

a true percula may get gobbled up... not to sure about the puffer though

InLimbo87 · 07-27-2007, 03:38 PM

The valentini puffer's are pretty aggressive, and may nip the fins of your lion.
