I have searched this forum, but have not found my answer...so here it goes.

I would very much like to get a dwarf lionfish for my 125 gallon. In my tank I have(as far as small fish go) two O clowns about 2 inches long, 6 green chomis all over 2 1/2 in. 3 PJ cardinals over 2 1/2 in, a cleaner shrimp (that has not cleaned anyone), and some peppermint shrimp.

In your humble opinion would those smallish fish be safe?

Any other thoughts on a dwarf lionfish wols be great.

If I didn't feed my dwarf for a week --he ate things.

You can count on the shrimp disappearing for sure plus anything else he can fit in his mouth. If I keep mine well fed he will leave shrimp alone but it is only delaying the inevitable.
