    Live aquaria says with caution. I can't say anything for sure because I have no experience with lions. :uhoh:

    I know they will eat any fish that will fit in their mouth but fuzzys only get around 5", usually. Not sure about shrimp etc.

    hmmm in a 75gal? two tangs seems like alot especially if the tank is less then 4' long. if i were you i would trade in a tang for dwarf lionfish and buy a mandarin (depending on how long your tank has been running)

    its only been up for about a year or so, im not a big fan of mandarins...and i wanted to try and see if they would work out their differences...and as long as they stay fed they dont bother each other, i do keep a watchful eye on them though...if i see them start to fight ill probably get rid of both of them..itll give me an excuse to get a powder blue or an achilles(i know minimum tank recommended is 100, but i plan on building a 250 after xmas)

    you've got a great set up for a mandarin. nothing to compete it out for food, a tank older then 6 months, and its over 40 gallons. in my pm reply the store i was talking about you could ask them to order a mandarin then they normally get it to take frozens. and they also have a nice PBT for sale. how big are those tangs atm?
