Ok, so I understand what I'm up for if I decide to keep a lionfish in my nano.  Now I'm looking for ideas on how to set it up, what fish to keep, etc.  I am looking at this beautiful empty 26 gallon bowfront tank all lit up and I'm dying to get started.

No.. I'm planning on going back to the LFS Sunday to buy sand and rocks, all the stuff I need.  I just bought the tank kit today.

Its easier for ppl to answer specific questions, thats why theres a lack of responses. 

 

Setting up:

 

Rock options

Sand options

Filteration media

Water movement

 

Fish options, there a few for 26g. You can do 4 small fish.

 

Clowns with a goby, a blenny, another small fish.

 

Firefish

Goby

Blenny

Cardinal

Pink streaked wrasse

 

Check out nano fish on Liveaquaria.com

 

If you want a lionfish, that pretty much sums up the option. A predator tank.

 

Lionfish are predators. In a 26g, any fish thats smaller than it will be eaten, any fish bigger than it, can't go in a 26g.

 

Imo, a fumanchu in a 26g is pushing the limits. They make a lot of waste, they need meaty foods, like fish and shrimp.

Welcome! Clown79 is a wealth of information and like posted- You will need to provide everyone with a bit more information! I actually didn't know a Lionfish could be housed in a 26g

 

What are your plans for the tank? Like Clown said I use Liveaquaria as a great resource!
