Doesn't sound like a good combo...not exactly sure how big dwarf fuzzy lions get, but I know it's fairly large (compared to other fish), and one would likely kill and eat the other.

Actually that could work. The snowflakes usually dont bother decent sized fishes (especially if they are well fed and introduced later.

The fuzzy lions are a little delicate though. I would recommend getting that one settled in and going first before introducing the eel. Find a smaller eel and you are G2G.

ummm dwarfe fuzzies only get to be about 7 inches i was more worried about the eel attacking the lion i guess ile try it the eel will be coming hopefully sometime in the next week the lion might be a little later becuase i have to order it from lfs.

it will work. i did it for about a year and a half till my eel jumped ship. I had a 22 inch snowflake with a 5 inch fuzzy dwarf lion. they got along great. I'd put the lion in first tho. that is what i did.

I dont see it as a problem those eels are not that aggresive!!

Wow! The color on the Fu Manchu Lion is incredible. Do they get along with Volitan lions?

be careful with snowflakes, unless your tank is well covered they WILL escape to the floor.

I would not put a Fu Manch with a volitans.
