    could you keep a Garibaldi Damselfish (Hypsypops rubicunda) with the Blackfoot Lionfish (Parapterois heterura)?

    how big would the tank need to be?

    Garibaldi= giant damsels that will try to kill anything(including divers)
    Garibaldi= 1 ft long
    Lionfish=Lunch
    200-250 gallon Minimum for a garibaldi fish

    use the 135 once your other fish outgrow it, get a 55 and make it a display fuge. House the Garibaldi in the DT and the lionfish in the fuge, you would have to have a sump to since both(mainly the Garibaldi) are big waste producers.

    thats a good idea, but the 135 will be a peacefull fowlr when my aggresive fish get upgraded. if i can find one i want to get a 240 gallon for my upgrade (8x2x2).
