hi those lions expert out there..will lions grow to their actual size?

n if i wan to have a radiata in a 2by1by1.5..can i?

n if i wanto have a antenata in a 2by1by1.5 can i?

from wat i read, they do grow to the actual adult size.

but it gonna take a long time to grow to actual adult size.

You may have small ones in ur 2 feet. like 2 inches?

i used to have a 2 inches radiata in my 2 feet.

its living well until... sad to say i accidentally crippled it. and later it died.

its highly not recommended to have any lions in a 2ft tank...not even for the dwarf lion.

they like lots of swimming space and will be stress out if they are kept in a small tank.

its best to leave them swimming freely in the big O if you cannot provide them with wat they requires.

just my 2 cents

Lions generally require big tanks because of their high output, i.e they shit a lot.

They normally "hang" around rockscapes, and swim rarely, so there is a tendency people gets bored after a while, and starts piling up more "swimming" livestocks, resulting in over crowding of the tank.

The smallest lions available are dwarf lions (be it fuzzy or zebra dwarfs). Even those can grow up to 7". Their growth can be quite tremendous, and you will probably find it too big for your 2ft after 6 months.

Hi, i'm not too sure if they can actually grow to their adult size in captivity unless of course if your aquarium is like those at the underwater world:) I have two volitans at around 8" and i reckon they are not growing any bigger or maybe very slow in growth. I have them for about two years now and they sure have a tremendous growth rate. I do not suggest keeping lions in 2ft tanks. Bro volitan is right, they not only poo alot but heavy duty ones they produce so make sure your tank is cycling properly to break down those stuffs. But if you intend to keep any, try to wean them to frozen food and avoid even freshwater mollies. I just lost a lilac rhino scorpion a week ago but feeding it with mollies as i can't seem to wean it to frozen:( Btw, radiatas are hard to wean:)

Good luck.
