what can I put in with my dwarf zebra lion in an 29g tank?
I was told a blue spotted puffer can work with a lion, but I am unsure. Can I put 2 dwarf zebra lions in there. do i need to get a male/female and if so how do I tell the difference? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi:
Puffers tend to be fin nippers and may take a chunk out of the beautiful finnage. I'm not sure about blue box puffers aas they tend to be not puffer like (as you know they are not very hardy)
As for sexing dwarf lions, please read the lionfish info sheet. it exlains that dwarf lion cannot be accurately sexed whereas dwarf fuzzy lions can be.
AS a reference dwarf lions get rather large for dwarfs (around 5-7"), while you could put two in there, why not get a dwarf fuzzy and a dwarf.
Hope this helps
