personally i havnt had any problems w/ my lion or my angler they generally avoid eachother and the aangler wants nothing to do w/ him, so i dont see why you cant (try to buy an angler that gets upnder 5 or 6 inches though)
Thank you, for noticing this ancient thread of mine, but my poor lion passed under the care of a housekeeper while I was on vacation. Though I will remeber this advice.
