EELS! Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hey so can Golden Dwarf Moray eels live with Fuzzy dwarf lion fish? I don't want anyone to get hurt. Could manderins and dragonets get along in there to? Quote Link to comment
jambon Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I would put the eel and lionfish together... the others may become lunch for the lionfish... 1 Quote Link to comment
William Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I currently have them together in my Red Sea Reefer Nano 2 Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Mandarin dragonets are one fish. And I strongly suspect one or both of those predators would eat them, since dragonets are slow little things. They do look to have "don't eat me, I'm toxic" markings, but one testing nip would be all it would take to kill your mandarin. The eel and the lionfish, assuming neither is small enough to look like a snack to the other, should be okay. 3 Quote Link to comment
William Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 If you had a large adult mandarin you would probably be ok with the EEL, I would still avoid the lionfish 2 Quote Link to comment

EELS! Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 could anything else live with the eel and lionfish? ( not the dragonets ) Quote Link to comment

Tired Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Yes. Things that won't attack the lionfish's fins, but are too big for either to eat. I think foxfish are a popular choice. Larger damsels could work if you get them as adults. Maybe an adult maroon clown depending on tank size. Lionfish have very big mouths. You're going to want its tankmates to be about as big as the lionfish is at any given time, so it won't think it might be able to eat them. Quote Link to comment
