Question on Lionfish

LamboBoy · 12/03/2017, 10:18 AM

I have an adult Fu Manchu in a 55 gallon tank, he is eating frozen krill at this moment but my question is.... can a Fu Manchu coexist with an adult Fussy Lionfish in a 55 gallon tank with plenty of caves?

Yes, but try to get them on something other than krill. Krill is a good starter food but is terrible for the fish health wise. Try cut pieces of squid or something similar. If the fish is big enough try frozen silver sides. Fuzzy dwarfs have great personality and mine will beg for food at the surface of the tank like a puppy.

Thanks for the responses. I do realize that krill is not that great but a least he is eating. I’ll switch him into healthier choices later. Just got him yesterday!
What if I add a marine Betta to the mix? They are shy as well so won’t be competing for good with the lions.

Idk, never owned one, but from what I've read it should work fine.
