40-60 Gallon Fowlr

[demonmagus]

Hi, what kind of centerpiece fish could I have for a 40-60 US gallon FOWLR?

I quite like the grey trigger, and just wondering if it would be nasty to corals if I upgrade.

Thanks

Triggers and corals is not a good mix, apart from for the trigger that is...

How about a flame angel?

Would just one flame angel be fully stocked, also, according to this site they may eat corals but I may want to upgrade

i agree, my lionfish is the centrepiece of my aquarium and is absolutely beautiful. mine is an active swimmer and easily is the most audacious of all my fish

uum, what kind of lionfish?

A dwarf?

 

[haulme]

I have an antennata lionfish. IMO the nicest looking.

Dont go for a volitan or russell they need alot more space.

A fuzzy dwarf is good or zebra dwarf is ideal.

A radiata would be ok but I would consider how many fish you want in there as they can outstretch your stocking limit.

oh and dont bother keeping cleaner shrimp, there are a whole load of inverts a lion will eat as well as small fish so consider this too.

just did a quick google, apparently it will need over 75 gallons

Really I thought they were fine in 30g UK

Know a few reefers who have kept them with success in FOWLR & Full Reefs

 

[demonmagus]

probably gonna get the fuzzy or zebra if I get any

in a 72 gallon would you be able to keep clowns with a zebra lionfish?

Depends on the size or species, for example a young perc might be eaten by a large zebra lion. Perhaps a clarkii clown?
