    I have a 35 gallon with a true percula clown and a scooter blenny. No coral in the tank only some polyps. I was wondering if my tank is big enough for a dwarf fuzzy lion and would it harm my other fish? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    ALL lion's tend to be on the preditory side of the ladder ,
    You could try it ' but watch your other fish, thats a small tank and space is at a premuim for you right now.
    As for me' i would not ( imo ) up to you my friend though.

    Might consider a pair of midas blennys ? ( have a golden tint color and some pinkish purple and a load of fun to watch)
    or perhaps a lawn mower blenny (eats algae)

    i acctually have a neighbor who has a reef, and has one in his tank, but its 120 gallons, and he keeps it incradibly feed so it wont be tempted, i wouldnt recamend it for that size though

    Well im going to disagree with everyone. I have the same size tank as yourself and i have a dwarf peacock lionfish in it. Theres also a neon goby and a small maroon clown and small damsel.

    Been like this months now and not a single problem!!

    The trick is, is not to let the lion become twice the size of any of your other fish!!
