Can I have 2 short body male and female flower horns in a 54gallon? And do they breed easly?

yeah i agree, flowerhorns can get very aggressive and short bodies still getting a good size. 90g would be ideal. And yes, they breed quite easy.

You can have one pair in that tank if they are bonsai/balloon/coin shaped. I have had no success yet but I am sure its easy.
 
Do fish fart?
 
for the lionfish question, common lions aka pterois volitans can get to 15"+ body alone EASILY and fast af, including fins, a full grown lionfish can get to nearly 2 feet, i wouldnt put a full grown one in a 180, its like a 2 foot block gliding around slowly in your tank, i think for 4-6 of them you'd need 8 x 3 footprint minimum

Actually according to the Ontario Science Centre whether or not fish fart, is an ongoing debate.

Some experts say that the digestive gasses of fish are consolidated with their food waste and expelled in gelatinous tubes which fish then eat.

But, fish have been known to emit bubbles due to an excess intake of air. For instance the sand tiger shark purposefully gulps air into its stomach at the surface then farts it out at the other end so it sinks to its desired depth.

Cory cats fart all the time. It's part of how they normally breathe.
