They get too large for a 55, and they aren't typically beginner fish. I'd go with LR myself. I think it's the best way to set up a tank. |

| tiki Banned Posts: 57 Votes: 0 Registered: 19-May-2004 | i would get a lion fish a small one, my friend has one in her tank and it's the coolest lil dude ever!!! p.s. if u do decide to go with the LF make sure he/she is fed well otherwise he'll make himself a snack out of a smaller fish  |

| amilner Big Fish Posts: 429 Kudos: 654 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jul-2004  | I wouldn't suggest a lionfish unless it was the only fish in the tank. [span class="edited"][Edited by 2004-07-11 19:42][/span] |

Shinigami       Ichthyophile Catfish/Oddball Fan Posts: 9962 Kudos: 2915 Registered: 22-Feb-2001  | That's silly. Lionfish can definitely be kept with OTHER Lionfish.  They can also be kept with Scorpionfish at similar sizes. A small species of moray is also possible. In this size tank, though, there isn't much else.
