    Hey guys, I havent been on here for a very long time, I need to take pictures of my 72g and put them up....I hope everyone and your tanks are doing good!!

    I have a question...I saw a beautiful medium sized fuzzy dwarf lion yesterday at my local lfs. And I wanted to buy it, but before I bought it i wanted to do my research. Is it possible for me to put a medium sized dwarf lion in my 8g tank?? All I have in their is a tomato..and 2 pieces of corals....what do you guys think??

    You dont want to spend money on anything just to watch it die, I think I would steer clear until your ready, bigger tank and a little more experiance.

    Dendrochirus brachypterus
    Common name: Dwarf fuzzy lionfish
    Maximum size: 7-8 inches,
    minimum tank size: 30 gallons

    Everything I have read said the same thing, 30 gallons minimum.

    here is a real good article on lions including the Fuzzy Dwarf
