 | A Shark and a Spikey? |
JellyfishPJs Small Fry Posts: 14 Kudos: 14 Votes: 1 Registered: 22-Feb-2005  | Ok, I decided to go with a desc Theoretically this seems possible with what I have read of the two species. The shark is quite small (10 inches or so) and the Lionfish would be also. So they're end up "growing up" together. I also know that the shark is a bottom dweller, and the lionfish tends to prefer middle-water and free floating spaces. So far I have no other plans for them to have any other tankmates besides the small fish I'll keep in there for light snacks. |

Large zebra eels work too, snowflakes can but they can get a bit aggro around feeding time |
