Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish with Damsels..?

[Weylin]

Is it possible to keep a Fuzzy Dwarf Lion with a 2" Yellow tail blue damsel and a 4 Stiped Damsel..?

What can one feed the Lion ?

Mine is in a 30 cubed with a green spotted puffer and 5 damsels. They are all doing fine.

My lion eats krill. He'll eat bloodworms and brine shrimp, but they have to be still frozen
together in cube form. He doesn't like to eat them individually. too small.

ohh.. Cool...

Then i think i should go ahead with the idea..

You'll be fine. The only way I can see that becoming a problem is if your lion grows large enough to see the damsels as food but that wont be for a while. I'd do it.

General rule of thumb for fish. If it can fit in it's mouth, it can be eaten.
So maybe as of right now you would be fine. Later on down the line anything is questionable. Good for you that they aren't fast growers.

i would go for it, if he eats a damsel its only a 8$ fish

the 4 stripe should be fine as long as the lion doesn't grow too fast.. the yellow tail will be up for grabs though

feed your lion krill, silversides, squid, clams, table shrimp and/or mysis when small

the OCCASIONAL gut loaded guppy/molly or ghost shrimp isn't the worst treat you can feed them

Also keep in mind that it may take some time for a lion to accept dead food.
This is why it should be fed live food until you can ween him towards things like chopped clams and the like.
Remember to just try and feed him live shrimps and guppies till that time. Whatever he will accept.
