    Well i found an Antenna Lionfish on Blue Zoo Aquatics, and would love to add him to my aggressive FOWLR 55. My only unanswered question as of yet is, What will happen if the Lionfish stings either of my eels? Will they die? Will i have to put in a QT?

    I think the chances of that happening are pretty slim. I would be more concerned about you being stung than the eels.

    the eels may die but i doubt it would happen personnaly. the guy at the lfs had it happend to him but that was with a volitan lionfish so it took up a lot of the tank, not much room for the eel. you should be fine. post some pics when you get it. i like that kind of lionfish.

    Thanks Guys! I think i'll try to do some more research on it. I would hate to lose either of my eels; they both have so much personality! And Gex i will definitely be taking a massive amount of pics if/and when i get him.
