My worry is you not having a big enough pond for a black tip. You do realize they need systems in the 20,000 gallon plus range?
yeah, poisoning should be the last worry on your mind, however if you do construct a big enough pond for a black tip, I wouldn't put the lion fish in there.
Yeah - Lions aren't good with any shark. But especially a very active species like the Blacktip Reef.
Personally - I would suggest keep the lions in a tank - maybe a larger one than the 90 gallons. But a Blacktip Reef definitely needs a large swimming pool size shark lagoon. For a pup - at least a pond of 6,000 gallon (16' diameter) to keep until maturity. For a single full grown adult blacktip reef - you really need a lagoon with at least 700 sq.ft., with more than 25,000 gallons.

Could we get pictures of the Black Tip and the pond? Would be awesome to see... I agree with the others, though, and think that you should play it safe and keep the Lions in a tank. Lions wouldn't be as impressive from a birds eye view, anyway 
In other words:I have it in to small of a pond.jsshark1;2374308; said:I would like to show pictures of the black tip in the pond but i see I would just get bashed.
Simple as that.

you'll get bashed more if you say something like that. because now we know you're just keeping it in a puddle.
