Im setting up a 5 1/2 gallon tank for my dad at his place of work, we were at the LFS and he saw all the aggressive fish and thought they looked cool especially the dwarf lionfish it was about 3in big. My question is, might be stupid, can you put one of those little guys in that little tank, and have him do well? ANd if you can can you put ANYTHING, coral, fish, ...mangroves in it as well?? THanks for your help, my first reaction was a big NO but i could be wrong im more of a reef fish lets all get along kind of guy when it comes to tanks so my knowledge in this area is very little.

THanks for your help/input.

No, a lion would never work.

unfortunately not, its too small.
You'd have struggling water quality and even if you went w/ a Fu Man Chu which is the smallest of all lions,the footprint is just too small
