View Full Version : Dwarf Lionfish

I Still Have Not Decided What Fish I Want To Keep In My 38 Gallon Saltwater Tank. I Was Looking Into Getting A Dwarf Lionfish But Then Saw That They Were Not A 100% Reef Safe. I Figured That They Were Like Angelfish. My Question Is, Would It Be Safe To Keep A Dwarf Lionfish In A Reef Tank? Would I Be Able To Keep Any Fish With Him?

I wouldn't. You won't be able to keep a large selection of Inverts such as Shrimp and they will eat smaller fish. They are best suited for a FOWLR in my opinion.

well i see no proublem with havine one in a reef, it will not eat any of the corals it would only hurt moible unprotected animals that it can fit in its mouth, and i would put a leaf fish in with it.
