2 lionfish?

[bluerockz]

Hey,
I'm getting an 80g tank,
Not a reef, a fish tank,
I was wondering would i be able to house 2 fuzzy dwarf lionfish,
Or 2 fu man chu lionfish
(obviously 1 male and one female)
Thanks!

No problem in a 80 gallon tank

From what I've read online ...
The fuzzies you could get away with, as long as they are opposite sexes.
The fu man chus are questionable in a tank that size - they may fight

According to you guys what else should i stock my aquarium with?

I can't help you with that. I just did a quick online read to get you that info.
Look them up on numerous sites and see what is suggested if no one else gives you answers.
Good luck with those beautiful fish

I have a fu man chu in my 80g and I had a red fuzzy dwarf. For a couple of months they seemed to get along fine, however one morning I found the red fuzzy on the carpet :cry: Not sure if the fu man chu chased it out or if my PITA mystery wrasse did.

If you haven't already, I suggest you Google the fuzzies. I found lots of articles when you first posted this.

According to what I read earlier today, you can have up to 6 fuzzies in one 100g tank, but 5 must be females.
So, as I said earlier, according to the article, you could have a pair no problem in your 80g.
Only issue I see is if the male bothers the female constantly or not. Then you would need a second female.
Basically, he said fuzzies are OK in groups in our small environments
