    thanks dude. ;)

    I think a dwarf lionfish would do well in my tank? it's 60 gallons. would it eat the clown which is around 2 inches now?

    As long as the clown is a little over 1/2 the lions size (body length) i doubt a baby or dwarf lion would bother it. They seem to have the same "I only pester what i can cram in my massive mouth" motto.

    i have a black volitan lionfish but i feed him shrimp so he should be ok but when he gets older he is going to have to eat more than just shrimp i get him some treats now and then but i think that w/e they eat in the wild we should come pretty close to that......but not meaning to join in on the battle of the brains......
