Lion fish question ... ?

[jcarson999]

I'm trying to decide on what to do with a 65g cube (2'x2'x2') and have started to become interested in lion fish. Can I keep, say, a fuzzy dwarf and fu manchu together in a tank this size? Or should you only have one lion per tank?

Thx,

They should be fine. Make sure you see them eat before you buy them. If they are not eating frozen I would pass cause it can be very hard to get them to eat. My fuzzy is very cool and spits water at me if I don't feed him fast enough.

should be ok.

I had a Dwarf and a standard together with no prob. But what i would do is put a hold on the say u dont get payed until a week later let it stay in the store. If it is still there in a week when u go back he is good. To get them to eat frozen Ive never had a prob with it. But than again Ive only had 4. They just get to darn big for my tank. But not this time.

Those two are fine together.

They may usually be fine together, but I think I had a problem. I had those 2 together for about 2 months, then one night when I came home they both looked bad and my fuzzy was missing an eye. They never ate again (I was feeding them live), and within a week they were both dead.

I thoguht I should tell you since I was really bummed about it, I loved the Fu Manchu.
