|  Do you think??
Hey guys, I havent been on here for a very long time, I need to take pictures of my 72g and put them up....I hope everyone and your tanks are doing good!!
I have a question...I saw a beautiful medium sized fuzzy dwarf lion yesterday at my local lfs. And I wanted to buy it, but before I bought it i wanted to do my research. Is it possible for me to put a medium sized dwarf lion in my 8g tank?? All I have in their is a tomato..and 2 pieces of corals....what do you guys think?? _________ 8g Oceanic BioCube: Dwarf Lion Fish, Sebae Clown Fish, Green Torch Coral, Red Algae Plant, Xenia, Cleaner Shrimp, 8 Turbo Snails, 2 red legged hermit crabs 72g Bowfront:2 Percula Clowns,6 Mexican Snails & 10 Turbo Snails, 1 Sand Shifting Star Fish, Yellow Tang  |

You dont want to spend money on anything just to watch it die, I think I would steer clear until your ready, bigger tank and a little more experiance. | |

Dendrochirus brachypterus
Common name: Dwarf fuzzy lionfish
Maximum size: 7-8 inches,
minimum tank size: 30 gallons
Everything I have read said the same thing, 30 gallons minimum.
here is a real good article on lions including the Fuzzy Dwarf _________ I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one.
Every morning is the dawn of a new error.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
