Questions about switching to aggressive tank.

[mattstevens1]

Alright so I had a big incident with the hurricane and my tank basically went to crap. So I want to take a different approach and just go aggressive fish. The fish I am picking up this week is a Fu Man Chu lionfish. Now my question to you is what else could go with these fish? I was looking into a snowflake eel and some sort of puffer. any suggestions?

What size tank? snowflakes and other smaller and pebbletooth eels are ok tankmates if you want an eel. I would avoid aggressive fish like triggers and angels as tankmates for relatively passive fish like your lionfish

The main rule of thumb for Fu Manchus is that they can go with fish that they won't eat, and that won't eat it

A snowflake eel should go great with one.

For the size tank, I would recommend a harlequin tusk fish. They will go great in any sort of aggressive tank and ate very colorful.
