Dwarf zebra lion fish, snowflake eel and maroon clownfish

KeeganMonkey · 05/04/2017, 09:45 AM

Hello I am new to this and am looking to get these fish please pet me know if any are incompatible:
Dwarf zebra lionfish, maroon clownfish, snowflake eel, and maybe a tang or angel along with them. I may even look into getting a starfish in the future! I plan on getting a 75+ gallon tank for these guys but Ik clueless about the equipment necisary to maintain them! Thanks so much and all help is appreciated! I'm making sure to do my research I do not want to fail at this I've wanted a saltwater tank for the longest time!

a maroon clown gets palm-sized and will attack a buzzsaw. They require a very large tank: about 100 gallons, and will claim about 50 to 75 gallons of it, or wherever they happen to be at the time. A lion will eat any fish that will by any stretch fit into its mouth. For the tang and angel, plan on 200 gallon tank. Plus you need an extra-large quarantine setup.

Ok so what I've gathered through looking online is that the dwarf zebra lion fish doesn't bother other fish as long as they're bigger than him, so I'm getting him and the maroon clown fish for sure I'm just looking around for one more fish and my snow flake eel. I'm hoping they will do well in a 75 gallon.

I had a Mombasa lionfish, hawkfish and a yellow striped maroon clown in a 65 for a few years before a power outage killed them. They all got along without any aggression.

I've honestly done a ton of research since this post all day I've spent reading up on the fish and they all should get along just fine, I'm also hoping to get atleast a 100 gallon tank so I'm confident in it working out
