55g lionfish friend???
Im putting my volitan lion back in his 55g after i re-cycled it. im looking for a suitable tankmate for the little guy(he is a baby probably 4" long if that) I cant do a snowflake eel because i dont have a sump, so i cant seal the top good enough so he wont escape. Right now it will just be him and my urchin. Any and all suggestions will be greatly helpful
thanks,
Brenden   |

yah I think a tank might be a good option, cept the tank is only a 55g which is plenty for the lion but not rly good for any tang  |

How about someone he can eat! Just kidding. How about another lion. You can have a nice lion species tank. A black and red or a radius lion make a good tank.

Yah a 55 isn't big enuff for two full grown lions. Without them banging into each other constantly. What I think I'm gonna do is get a reef lobster and a wicked starfish or something like that to be his tank companions, if zebra or snowflake eels weren't dumb and like to try to die I would love to put one of those in the tank but I can't seal the top

I assume have never kept maroon clowns, they are most agressive clowns. A mature pair will set their territory and be fine imho.
