Suggestions for 30g

I have a 30g (not driiled) that I would like to set up and was wondering if there was any type of lionfish that I could keep in this. Also, If there is then what other fish could I put in with him. I would like to have a few smaller, colorful fish to go in this tank.

So any fish suggestions would be apprecited.

Thanks

Chris

A lion is a messy eater, this will create detritus in large amounts adding more fish will exagerate the issue. With a small tank you will be creating issue if you dont have some good flow and decent skimming. I lion will eat pretty much anything it can fit in its mouth so be carefull on what you put with it.
As far as what kind of lion will fit, maybe a dwarf, but I am sure some who have kept them will chime in!

They dont move much so dont need as much space as simularly sized fish, but be sure or the needs. Check some sites that sell fish,many have listed requirements.
