    Banging My Head Against The Wall

    In all truth a quarantine tank would be very easy to maintain. All you need is a filter, some form of water movement or maybe an air pump, and a place for fish to feel comfortable.

    Lion fish?

    No, you cant have clowns, blennies, basslets, dottybacks, chromis, dartfish, dragonettes, cardinalfish or small wrasse. List probably goes on. Now if you want a FOWLR lions are great! If I were setting up a tank around a lion. I'd go with lions, scorps, possibly goatfish but not sure and I'd get...
