    The only dumb question is the one not asked so here we go.May I put a 10" Lionfish in a 125 gallon with a 3' Leopard Moray or will the Lion become a meal.

    i am pretty sure that would be fine, since the lion has some pretty hefty defenses. Ive seen eels and lions together before (although 3ft is a big one, but so is the lion).

    what kind of lion is it specifically?

    If you keep them both very well fed, you should have no problems.

    i agree, pics would be nice. the larger the lion, the better with a big eel.
