What size tank do I need?

spider2928 · 12/02/2007, 05:08 PM

I currently have a fimbriated moray and a volatin lionfish in a 55 gallon tank (both juveniles). Would a 90 gallon tank be able to house them fully grown? Also, what other fish could I add to the new setup?

are you sure its a fimbriated moray? i just done a lil reading up on these and there often called this when in all actuallity they are a leapord or spotted eel and can grow up to 6 foot so you might wanna do a little bit more research on it just to be safe.Also a 90 is the same length as the 55 just taller and wider

Yea im pretty positive its a fimbriated it has a yellow head and looks just like the pictures. I know the 90 is the same length I just bought a pc light fixture and i was hoping i would be able to use it on the tank i upgrade too as well.

You should be OK with a 90. Just make sure that you do not overfeed the lionfish, as these can easily outgrow the 90 if well fed.

i would go with a 120 then if your stuck in the 4ft range. Gives you more options and flexibility.
